The foundation of AbleBook

AbleBook is one of the startups innovators in Cyprus, which successfully passed all the stages of the IDEA Innovation Centre. By founding AbleBook, the team and its supporters aim to create an online platform with applications that will improve the quality of life of people with disabilities and by extension vulnerable groups, allowing them to participate in society and enjoy the same opportunities and access to social goods.

Raising public awareness

Through the AbleBook platform, an attempt is made to continuously raise public awareness of the problems faced by people with disabilities, as well as to promote innovative solutions to reduce and solve these problems and the difficulties encountered in the effort to integrate people with disabilities as equal members of our society.

“The reason for starting this initiative was the identification of the difficult and sometimes impossible access and mobility of people with disabilities, both in public and private spaces. In addition, we have noticed that there is a gap in general in the information of society as regards the problems faced by these people. That is why we seek through this application to inform people appropriately and correctly about everything concerning people with disabilities. Through the lived experiences of Andreas Vassiliou, a member of our team and a person with a disability, we were able to better understand the gap that exists in terms of access to society for people with disabilities,” the AbleBook platform states.
