Otis recognizes the rapid demographic changes taking place worldwide. By 2050, the number of people aged 60 and older is expected to double worldwide, fundamentally reshaping how we support mobility, independence and quality of life. This evolution creates an urgent need for inclusive and accessible buildings and infrastructure that allow people to remain active and connected to their communities as they age

Otis is committed to helping cities evolve in ways that support longer, healthier and more independent living for people at every stage of life. Staying at the forefront of innovation means not only developing new solutions, but listening and continuously learning from real-world use cases, customers, and expert partners to refine and add new features and benefits over time. By using insights gained through ongoing market engagement, Otis aims to advance accessible, inclusive mobility that enables cities to meet the changing needs of their communities today and for generations to come.

The Otis Gen3 elevator platform, recently introduced in EMEA, and the Gen360 platform include a range of elevators with compact, space-saving solutions suitable for both new and existing buildings. By installing, adding or upgrading technology to improve accessibility and inclusivity, these elevators help make buildings more future-ready, ensuring cities remain livable and welcoming for all residents.

Small, targeted upgrades often allow impactful accessibility improvements to happen faster and within set budgets vs. complete refurbishments. Otis Viva solutions offer the flexibility customers need to make informed decisions about the scope, cost, pace and planning of their elevator enhancements.
