About TETRAGON Braille Systems GmbH
editTETRAGON Braille Systems GmbH is an innovative company based in Vienna that specializes in the development of Braille technologies. Our main product, which we develop with state-of-the-art technology, is a novel, refreshable Braille display. This display is characterized by its compact design, which can still represent long lines of text. This is made possible by a groundbreaking technology that presents the Braille characters on the inside of a rotating ring.
Our mission is to make Braille products accessible to as many people as possible. To achieve this goal, we are working on a new co-creation and distribution concept with partner companies in Africa. This collaboration allows us to bring our products to regions that have previously had limited access to such technologies. An example of our initiatives is the successful presentation of hardware prototypes in a workshop in Kenya, where local makerspaces assembled the prototypes as proof of concept.
TETRAGON places great importance on sustainability and social responsibility. We are proud to be among the winners of the funding competition "Digital Humanism" by the Vienna Business Agency and the Vienna Science and Technology Fund. This funding supports us in developing a roadmap to bring assistive high-tech to low-income countries. In this context, we collaborate with the Austrian NGO "Hilfsgemeinschaft der Blinden und Sehschwachen Österreichs."
Our values are based on innovation, inclusion, and collaboration. We believe in the power of technology to break down barriers and support people with visual impairments worldwide. Through our partnerships, such as with the iZone Hub in Harare, Zimbabwe, and participation in international events like re:publica in Germany, we strive to realize our vision of an inclusive digital future.
Data protection and the safeguarding of our users' privacy are also very important to us. We process data solely based on the legal provisions of the GDPR and anonymize user data to protect privacy.
TETRAGON Braille Systems GmbH is committed to improving the quality of life for people with visual impairments through continuous innovation and strategic partnerships, making access to education and information easier for them. We invite you to be part of our journey and to shape an accessible future together.
