Presentation Designing for the 16%: The Market You're Probably Ignoring

One in six EU adults lives with a disability. That's approximately 75 million people and a market most real estate developers are still treating as a compliance footnote rather than a commercial opportunity. This session makes the business case for accessible design in CEE real estate: who the audience actually is, why the demographic curve makes this urgent, and how the market leaders are already turning accessibility certification into a leasing and ESG advantage.

Speaker:

Gábor Hajdu, Regional Growth Manager, Access4you
