The Société de Livraison des Ouvrages Olympiques selects Okeenea Digital, Okeenea Tech and Okeenea Bâtiment and 5 other expert companies to create the inclusive multi-sensory signage that will occupy the public spaces of the Athletes' Village for the upcoming Paris Games.

This innovative partnership is a great opportunity to showcase French expertise at the world's largest sporting event. We are proud to be part of this outstanding project.

If the term "Smart building" was born in the 1980s, it is currently experiencing an unprecedented boom due to the advent of new technologies, environmental and sociological issues but also crises such as the COVID.

What is a Smart Building? For whom is it built? Why is it developed? How does it work?

We have a great collaboration announcement to make for this new year! Our team is working on improving the visitor experience of the Maison Victor Hugo museum with the Evelity application. 

This magnificent museum, full of stories about the life of Victor Hugo, located on Place des Vosges in Paris, is a member of the Paris Museums group. For several years, it has been working towards granting access to universal culture for all. After implementing many measures towards inclusion for all, which resulted in being awarded with the 4 “Tourism and Disability” certification labels, the museum wanted to go even further.

The solution Evelity naturally became the obvious choice. We were on site a few days ago and we took the opportunity to interview Thierry Renaudin, general secretary and director of the "accessibility for all" project…

The pilot phase of the Lille metro deployment is going perfectly. The first stage is a great success.

Our teams have supervised the seven testers on a guidance experience between 2 metro stations. The Evelity application was praised by this first panel of testers made up of visually impaired people. This is obviously the most complex panel to guide. And yet, no less than 100% of the testers validated the use and benefits of such a solution within the Lille network. But that's not all, because they all want Evelity to be used in facilities and buildings beyond public transport and the metro in particular.

So the project is on the right track, no pun intended! 

Among the 650 startups that were selected for their innovation, Okeenea wins the challenge with Evelity! A wonderful opportunity to make our dream to export our app throughout the world including Great Britain a reality. We’ll tell you all about it.
