Accessibility in Europe. 80 million people with a disability

Dec 12, 2011
40% of the population is disabled. A major market for the next 30 years! The law on equal rights and opportunities of February 11, 2005 set the objective of accessibility of all public spaces by 2015.
It is a major step for accessibility of all persons with disabilities, the elderly, parents with strollers, overweight, fatigable people, and everyone in general. To support the momentum since 2005, Urbaccess, on19/20 January 2012 at the CNIT - Paris la Défense (France) is the leading European trade fair on accessibility and universal design. This show has the ambition to consider accessibility as a whole and enhance the efforts in all sectors. For two days, the French and European companies specializing in accessibility and the institutional and local authorities will present their solutions, their expertise and best practices. Meanwhile, a conference program is organized to enable stakeholders (associations, companies, local authorities, etc.) to express their views, expectations and proposals on these key issues.
