On behalf of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and personally, I would like to emphasize the importance of the Unlimited Opportunities social program. The program is one of the drivers for developing domestic solutions for rehabilitation, treatment, prevention, prosthetics, and accessible environments. Its activities not only create opportunities to expand the domestic rehabilitation products market, but also help people with disabilities reveal their intellectual and creative potential, support their social and professional adaptation, and contribute to future employment. I wish you new ideas, productive work on your projects, and success in achieving your professional goals!
