Creating a better, brighter community
At Industries for the Blind and Visually Impaired (IBVI), we’re proud to help provide useful resources for people who are blind and visually impaired—as evidenced by our partnerships throughout the community.
Fostering a progressive environment
Through partnerships, thought leadership, and engagement, IBVI transcends “business” by redefining “community.” Through our partnerships, we are able to create an environment of change and improvement for the blind and visually impaired. And many of our partners look to IBVI as the real-world testing ground for new technologies used in manufacturing and office professions.
We have partnered with Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) to provide safe, efficient transportation for IBVI employees. Thanks to an on-site bus shelter and programs like the Go! Pass, many of IBVIs visually impaired employees can ride to work independently and confidently.
Through our partnership with eSight, we’re working towards the realization of a technology that will bring about a true shift in our community: a wearable assistive device that allows the visually impaired to see.
