What Inclusiv'Events does

Inclusiv'Events is a Lyon, France-based company that designs and supplies CAU-mobility (Cheminement d'Accessibilité Universelle), a patented modular removable pathway system engineered to deliver universal accessibility across rugged, temporary, and uneven terrain. Founded in 2019 by Rui Pereira — a Universal Accessibility Consultant and Disability Referent in cultural events — the company operates with a small team of five and serves as the project holder for the innovation, partnering with associations MIETE and AMAAC-Access'Festival that co-developed the broader Pack Accessibilité Universelle.

The core product is built around 120cm × 50cm polyurethane resin modules weighing 10 kg each, connected via reinforced attachments to form continuous routes. The system adapts to terrain irregularities including grass, dirt, sand, gravel, and snow, accommodates slopes of 10–12%, bridges obstacles up to 10 cm, and operates across temperatures from –20°C to +60°C under vehicle load. Differentiated features include color-contrast tactile grooves for visually impaired navigation via cane detection, sloped beveled edges for wheelchair access (manual, electric, adapted), water-evacuation channels, and single-person installation at approximately 100 meters per two hours. The patent was granted in June 2019 and modules are manufactured in France in collaboration with FabLab You Factory engineers and CIRFAP plastics apprentices, with validation testing conducted through APF France handicap, Valentin Haüy, Ludiversité, and FAF-Apridev.

The business model is B2B direct sales with quote-based, project-priced engagements (no public catalog pricing). Target customers span event organizers of cultural festivals, sports competitions, and private events including Olympics and Paralympics contexts; municipalities and urban planners needing accessible detours or public-space coverage during construction; and tourism and recreation operators managing beaches, parks, ski resorts, and trails. Manufacturing and validation are executed through an integrated network of technical partners, disability associations, and public-sector supporters (Métropole du Grand Lyon, Ville de Lyon, Fondation Res Publica, Fondation Harmonie Mutuelle, La Banque Postale Assurances). A 2021 KissKissBankBank crowdfunding campaign has been used in addition to direct outreach for project funding and visibility.
