Assistive Tech Growth LAB has recently invested in assistive technology center and a large training-focused facility in Shreveport, signaling a strategic expansion into accessibility tech services, rehabilitation support, and upskilling for blind and visually impaired individuals. This creates opportunities to offer innovative tools, software, and hardware solutions tailored to training programs and employment services.

Federal Contracting Access As a JWOD participant with the ability to secure government contracts to provide products and services to the Federal government, LAB presents a channel to propose scalable manufacturing, packaging, and compliant services to federal agencies, along with potential co-sell partnerships with related nonprofits serving similar markets.

Strategic Collaboration LAB’s affiliation with NAEPB and NIB, plus its licensing and rehabilitation certifications, suggests strong potential for partnerships on funding, program development, and inclusive employment initiatives. Sales outreach can focus on technology platforms, training curricula, and compliance solutions that align with their mission and regulatory framework.

Training and Employment Tech The expansion into a 16,000-square-foot facility focused on training, technology, and services indicates a demand for learning management systems, assistive software, accessible content, and workflow tools that support visually impaired employees in manufacturing and administrative roles.

Sustainability and Growth With a nearly 100-year legacy and recent capital investments (assistive tech center, large renovation), LAB demonstrates a growth trajectory and sustainability focus. This presents opportunities to discuss long-term partnerships, recurring service contracts, funding-aligned solutions, and social impact initiatives that resonate with grantmakers and corporate partners.
