IPERA Partners with Okeenea to Bring Inclusive Wayfinding to the MEA Region at Gitex Global 2025

Dubai, October 15, 2025 — Okeenea, a French company at the forefront of accessibility solutions, and IPERA, a leader in location services & visitor analytics software, at Gitex Global 2025, announce their strategic partnership. Under this alliance, IPERA will incorporate Okeenea’s Evelity inclusive wayfinding application into its IPERA software portfolio for the Middle East market.

Evelity is a digital navigation tool designed to empower users with disabilities — especially those with visual impairments — to move through complex indoor and outdoor environments with confidence. The app offers personalized, step-by-step guidance through audio, visual, or haptic instructions, adapting to the individual’s profile and context.

Originally created to support accessibility, Evelity’s intelligent navigation capabilities benefit all users by offering smooth, intuitive, and context-aware wayfinding across large and complex venues — from airports and museums to university campuses, shopping malls, and smart office buildings.
Through this partnership, IPera and Okeenea aim to redefine the visitor experience by making public spaces more inclusive, accessible, and empowering for everyone. According to recent studies, at least 20% of visually impaired individuals avoid visiting complex venues due to navigation difficulties. The integration of Evelity within IPERA’s Starling Location Services Platform seeks to change that — promoting autonomy, inclusivity, and digital innovation in the built environment.

The partnership was officially announced at GITEX Global 2025, marking the beginning of a shared mission to make public spaces more inclusive, accessible, and connected for everyone.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Okeenea to bring truly inclusive wayfinding technology to the MEA region,” said Mustafa Duran, VP in Sales, IPERA. “Together, we’re making it easier for every visitor — regardless of ability — to navigate and connect with their surroundings confidently.”
