Connie is in the shop
The Connie luggage hitch mounts on a wheelchair in a few moves and folds down small enough for any backpack. 100 % of the profit goes back into development.

Panel discussion ahead of the federal election
Accessibility and disability-friendly design are not the same. Disability-friendly design means adapting spaces to the needs of people with mobility impairments, while accessibility means removing potential barriers. Accessibility is still far from universal. Can Aachen take a step towards the future? What should policymakers do, and what can start-ups contribute? We are hosting a panel discussion with the candidates standing in Aachen's constituencies for the federal election.
