Nia Technologies was proud to participate as an exhibitor in the Accessibility Innovation Showcase at Discovery 2018.


This year, Discovery was held on April 30 and May 1, 2018 in Toronto, Canada at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.


The conference is hosted by Ontario Centres of Excellence and is Canada’s leading innovation-to-commercialization conference. In 2017, Discovery brought together 3,600 attendees and more than 540 exhibitors across industry, academia, government, and the investment community.


Nia Technologies participated in the Accessibility Innovation Showcase alongside more than thirty other Ontario-based companies selected to exhibit their innovative assistive devices and technologies. According to the organizers, the purpose of the showcase is to “build broader awareness of the companies that exist in this niche market, provide exposure to potential private investors, and engage the entire innovation ecosystem.”


At Nia’s booth, attendees saw several 3D printers at work, fabricating lower limb prosthetic sockets. They were also able to experience NiaFit in virtual reality and learn about Nia’s work to bring 3D printed prosthetics and orthotics to children in resource poor countries.

Healing the wounds and trauma of the war in Ukraine

In Lviv, the Unbroken National Rehabilitation Center has already treated more than 16,000 wounded civilians and soldiers, including 2,000 children. More than 100,000 surgeries have been done. "Everyone is on adrenaline. Everyone is motivated. We are in survival mode. We do it because our friends, our parents, our husbands are on the battlefield", says M aryana Svirchuk from Unbroken . It is estimated that more than 10,000 Ukrainian civilians and 70,000 soldiers have been killed since Russia invaded on February 24, 2022. Nearly 19,000 civilians and 100,000 soldiers were reportedly injured. When the war began, the regional civilian hospital had to quickly change course to meet demand, but the staff had little experience in treating war wounds. In addition, the city's hospital has had to adapt to a very large volume of new patients – thousands of Ukrainians who have fled the fighting in the west to settle in Lviv. ......

A Canadian-donated 3D printer is making artificial limbs for Ukrainian soldiers so they can walk, run – and fight again

Amid the tragedies of the war in Ukraine , t here are small victories, small incidents of hope that inspire and rally the defenders. One of those moments came on Sunday in Kyiv, when war amputees fitted with prosthetic legs took part in a charity race that made crowds cheer with pride.  The race, organized by the Nova Post express delivery company and billed as the “World’s Longest Marathon” – a reference to the 3,359 days that have passed since the war started with Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014 – included 15 amputees who were given new limbs in the Unbroken National Rehabilitation Center at St. Panteleimon hospital in Lviv. One of them, Serhii Yevtushenko, walked and ran his one-kilometre event with a prosthesis made from a Canadian-donated 3D printer that was recently installed at Unbroken. “I had no problem with my new Canadian leg,” he told The Globe and Mail after the race. “Morally, this event felt good and I would like to thank Canada.” ......
