Made to Move Communities™
Inspiring the next generation of innovators as they develop inclusive mobility solutions for a more connected world
The Made to Move Communities™ challenge, launched in 2020, is Otis’ global social impact program. It pairs students with Otis mentors to solve real-world mobility challenges through STEM and artificial intelligence. Each year, students explore how mobility affects their communities and develop innovative solutions that make movement safer, more inclusive and more sustainable.
The program is designed to spark interest in STEM careers, strengthen our future workforce, and deepen Otis’ engagement in the communities where we live and work. It also supports career development by offering Otis colleagues meaningful opportunities to mentor, lead and grow.
One example of the program’s benefit to the business is the story of Agustín, a former participant in the Made to Move Communities initiative who now works at Otis as a technician. His experience demonstrates how exposure to STEM and mentorship can open doors to career opportunities while helping build a strong pipeline of future talent for our business.

Мы вдохновляем и поддерживаем молодых новаторов в реализации решений по инклюзивной мобильности для представителей меньшинств
Наша компания была создана, чтобы приводить этот мир в движение, поэтому мобильность занимает центральное место в нашем видении: мы стремимся предоставлять людям свободу взаимодействия и возможность процветания в более высоком, быстром и интеллектуальном мире.
С помощью нашей новой программы мы привлекаем молодые умы к созданию новых решений в сфере мобильности для различных людей по всему миру. Кроме того, программа решает и другую важную задачу: предоставляя учащимся практический опыт работы под руководством наших экспертов, мы надеемся разжечь в них любопытство и интерес к естественным наукам, технологиям, инжинирингу и математике (STEM — science, technology, engineering, math).

Year 6: Mobility solutions to support people and communities in times of natural disaster
Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and intense, disrupting infrastructure and limiting access to essential services. These events present significant mobility challenges for communities and first responders. Now in its sixth year, the Made to Move Communities program brings together Otis colleagues and more than 200 students from 25 schools across 18 countries and territories to leverage artificial intelligence in developing more resilient, inclusive and accessible solutions for disaster preparedness and recovery.

Today, more than ever, climate change poses a significant threat to the safety, prosperity and wellbeing of people and communities around the world. For the third year of Made to Move Communities, we empowered the next generation of innovators to be a part of the solution. Otis colleagues mentored 230+ students across the globe to develop solutions to the climate change issues impacting mobility today for the benefit of generations to come.

Mobility Solutions for Older Populations
The number of older adults is projected to double to 1.5 billion in 20502. For the second year of Made to Move Communities, we tapped young minds and applied creative thinking to help cities of the future adapt and meet the needs of this growing population. Across 14 countries and territories, teams of Otis employee mentors and students created STEM-based mobility solutions ranging from connected wheelchairs and smart escalators to a device improving access to local water stations.

Mobility Solutions to COVID-19
In its first year, Made to Move CommunitiesTM engaged schools in Brazil, China, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Russia, Spain, the United States and Singapore. Under the mentorship of Otis employees, nearly 100 students spent eight weeks developing STEM-based solutions to address mobility challenges in their communities – particularly those most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
