Accessibility technology startups in Europe are gaining momentum, leveraging AI and inclusive design to enhance the lives of people with disabilities and the wider population. These startups are finding innovative ways to address the needs of the disability community while also expanding their reach to a broader market.
To ensure the accessibility of East West Rail (EWR) for all passengers, the Accessibility Advisory Panel (AAP) has identified key requirements for trains, stations, and digital services. This panel, established in 2023, focuses on meeting the diverse needs of disabled individuals, who constitute nearly one in four people in the UK. Their insights aim to eliminate barriers to rail travel faced by local communities.
