The Hague: how can new assistive technologies enable better mobility?
The Challenge
Individuals with mobility challenges, including the elderly and those with disabilities, often face significant barriers in maintaining independence and participating in daily activities.
The Municipality of The Hague is seeking modern, innovative assistive technology solutions that enhance mobility for marginalised individuals. The goal is to create devices or systems that are user-friendly, affordable, and effective in improving the mobility of individuals with physical impairments. This challenge scheme operates as a contest, and if the pilot is successful, the city may procure or further develop the solution without initiating a new tender.
The Municipality of Hague will host one pilot in collaboration with its residents.
Who can apply?
- Companies and associations established in the EU, with a valid European business ID
- Individual citizens through their host institution, or from a country associated to Horizon Europe
