Challenge: Enhancing accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities

Target Group: people with disabilities

Accessify is a one-stop shop accessibility platform that transforms the way people with disabilities navigate cities, public spaces, events, and venues. Through AI and community-powered features, Accessify maps obstacles, mobility infrastructure, and accessibility levels, enabling safe, seamless, and personalized movement through urban environments. The CommuniCity pilot aimed to validate the platform in real-world conditions across the urban contexts of London. The pilot’s main objectives were to co-design key features with end users, test usability in live environments, and assess integration potential with event and venue operations. Over 20 individuals participated in co-creation sessions, including 6 representatives from marginalised groups and 15 event and venue managers. The pilot included structured user interviews, live mapping trials, and on-site accessibility assessments. The product reached TRL 6, with a functional prototype demonstrated at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The pilot validated both the social impact and market demand of the solution and has set the groundwork for future partnerships and deployments.
