  • Innovation that changes the world, made in Quebec. I visited HumanWare’s facility in Drummondville. We attended a product training, and it reminded me how extraordinary it is to see world-class innovation come to life in such a small town in Quebec. Here, our teams are assembling, testing, and shipping technologies that help people who are blind or have low vision live more independently, from the explore magnifiers to the Monarch, recently named one of TIME’s Best Inventions. Behind every device, there are real people, passionate, skilled, and united by a mission that goes far beyond technology. Proud to be part of a company that proves innovation with purpose truly begins with people. — Amina, Marketing Team
