Supporters of SightCity
Over the years, SightCity has always had important support from the worlds of politics and business. 2024, we were able to win the Lord Mayor of the City of Frankfurt, Mike Josef, for a welcoming address.
Greeting
of the Lord Mayor of the City of Frankfurt, Mike Josef
Ladies and gentlemen,
As sighted people, we cannot imagine the challenging everyday life of blind and visually impaired people in its entirety and complexity.
It’s not just about those affected themselves, friends and family are also confronted with enormous challenges.
Everyday life as a whole is affected by tasks that are difficult to manage.
These include activities in their own home, running errands, work and leisure activities.
The technical requirements for school, training, work and everyday life have developed steadily in recent years.
High-quality aids for the blind and visually impaired are setting new standards and are more readily available today than they were just a few years ago.
This year’s “SightCity” will once again make an important contribution to personal exchange and knowledge expansion with presentations and panel discussions.
Take advantage of the comprehensive range of information on the diverse aspects of the topics presented.
Renowned manufacturers from all over the world will be presenting new and tried-and-tested products from their ranges.
It is very important to our city and to me personally that visually impaired and blind people are actively involved in social and professional life in Frankfurt.
One of our most important goals is to make Frankfurt am Main a well-developed, barrier-free and modern city.
I wish you a pleasant stay, enjoy your time in our city, be impressed by its people and come back again.
Welcome to SightCity 2024!
Mike Josef
Lord Mayor
of the City of Frankfurt am Main
