Abstract: VeloMove is an innovative wheelchair designed to support individuals with disabilities in securing employment within the trade and logistics sectors, particularly in warehouses and airports. This project, developed under IBM554 – International Trade, explores how inclusive mobility solutions can contribute to workforce participation and global trade integration. The problem addressed is the lack of job opportunities for disabled people and lack of functional mobility equipment tailored for labor-intensive trade environments. We investigated the issue by distributing surveys and secondary research. VeloMove aims to solve this issue through its advanced innovation with steering, braking system, and detachable wagon feature—enabling users to safely and effectively handle goods in demanding settings. The objective of the project is to develop a product that increases inclusivity in job employment and improves technological inclusion. The materials and methods include the parts used and how to use VeloMove. Hence, VeloMove demonstrates the potential of inclusive innovation to drive economic participation and support international trade goals. It offers a meaningful solution that aligns with sustainable development and expands opportunities for a typically underserved workforce segment.
