Otis champions inclusive mobility for aging populations. Mar 10, 2026, 07:00 ET * Designed for older adults, the new Otis Viva(TM) solutions - for existing and new buildings - promote safe, reliable mobility in support of longer, more independent and active living. CANNES, France, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - At MIPIM, the world's largest real estate exhibition, Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS), the world leader in the manufacture, installation, service and modernization of elevators and escalators, is reinforcing its commitment to intergenerational mobility. As the global population ages, Otis is leading with new accessible, intuitive solutions designed to support evolving mobility needs and help older adults remain independent, active and confident throughout their lives. Otis unveiled its new Viva solutions - a purpose-built set of elevator features to improve safety, reliability and more instinctive operation for aging populations, while benefiting all passengers. The combination of human-centered design and intuitive elevator technology provides a safer and more comfortable ride experience, with benefits that include improved uptime, easier entry and exit, improved lighting and visibility, clear visual and auditory signals, and handrails for added stability for balance. Together, these features make daily journeys more comfortable for those who need them most. Improving accessibility is easy to do. Starting now. Otis Viva solutions enable building owners to implement meaningful improvements to elevators in existing buildings through small or large upgrades that meet regulatory and tenant standards while extending the life of their assets. Customers remain in control, making informed choices about the scope, cost, and pace of their elevator enhancements. Otis Viva solutions also come standard with new installations of the Otis Gen3(TM) and Gen360(TM) elevator systems. And the Gen3 and Gen360 elevators' compact design options make it easy to add elevators to buildings where none previously existed - helping expand access and mobility while supporting people who want to remain independent and age in place. Rooted in its longstanding commitment to support local communities, Otis is using its participation at MIPIM to deliver an early, tangible benefit to residents at a senior living center in Le Cannet, France, managed by the Groupe SOS Seniors association. Through the donation of select Otis Viva solutions, Otis is refurbishing an elevator to remove existing mobility barriers and help residents move more safely, freely and comfortably. "How well our buildings and infrastructure serve people tomorrow depends on how quickly and thoughtfully we improve and adapt them today," said Otis Chair, CEO and President Judy Marks. "As global populations continue to age, access and autonomy in everyday mobility become essential. Otis is focused on delivering solutions at pace that remove barriers and support independence, helping people connect and thrive at every stage of life." Otis Viva solutions will be available to upgrade existing buildings and for new installations beginning in May 2026 with initial rollout in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. To learn more about Otis Viva solutions and the company's commitment to advancing mobility - helping older adults move freely, confidently and independently - visit www.otis.com. Otis also debuted its Gen3 Comfort in China in November 2025, ideal for residential communities with aging residents. Q&A What prompted Otis to focus on accessible solutions for older adults in urban environments? Otis recognizes the rapid demographic changes taking place worldwide. By 2050, the number of people aged 60 and older is expected to double worldwide*, fundamentally reshaping how we support mobility, independence and quality of life. This evolution creates an urgent need for inclusive and accessible buildings and infrastructure that allow people to remain active and connected to their communities as they age. What is Otis' long-term vision for urban living and accessibility? Otis is committed to helping cities evolve in ways that support longer, healthier and more independent living for people at every stage of life. Staying at the forefront of innovation means not only developing new solutions, but listening and continuously learning from real-world use cases, customers, and expert partners to refine and add new features and benefits over time. By using insights gained through ongoing market engagement, Otis aims to advance accessible, inclusive mobility that enables cities to meet the changing needs of their communities today and for generations to come. How do the Otis Gen3 and Gen360 elevator platforms contribute to accessible and inclusive urban environments? The Otis Gen3 elevator platform, recently introduced in EMEA, and the Gen360 platform include a range of elevators with compact, space-saving solutions suitable for both new and existing buildings. By installing, adding or upgrading technology to improve accessibility and inclusivity, these elevators help make buildings more future-ready, ensuring cities remain livable and welcoming for all residents. Otis Viva solutions come standard with new installations of the Otis Gen3 and Gen360 elevator platforms, delivering accessible, intuitive mobility from day one and supporting evolving needs over time. Additionally, to address the urgent need to enhance accessibility in many buildings constructed without elevators, the Otis Gen3 and Gen360 elevator ranges offer several compact design options, making them an ideal choice for buildings where space for the elevator shaft must be created. Why are small upgrades important for improving accessibility? Small, targeted upgrades often allow impactful accessibility improvements to happen faster and within set budgets vs. complete refurbishments. Otis Viva solutions offer the flexibility customers need to make informed decisions about the scope, cost, pace and planning of their elevator enhancements. How do Otis Viva solutions benefit building owners? Otis Viva solutions help building owners improve accessibility while meeting evolving tenant and residential expectations. By upgrading existing elevators, these solutions extend the useful life of buildings and support long-term performance and value. Can Otis Viva solutions be added to existing elevator systems in buildings? Yes. Otis Viva solutions can be added to elevators in existing buildings through targeted upgrades. These small or larger enhancements make it easier to improve accessibility and passenger experience without waiting for new construction.

Vertical mobility for enhanced requirements. March 2026 For 2026, Otis has announced two new approaches in the form of Arise MOD and the Gen3 platform for flexible modernisation of existing lifts and intelligent technologies for new buildings that are tailored to different needs. Photo: (C) Otis Elevator Company According to the European Lift Association, there are currently more than six million lifts in Europe in operation, of which far more than half are over 25 years old.[1] Building owners face the challenge of modernising these lifts safely and efficiently without impairing the structure of the building and ongoing operation. What solutions are suitable for this? To answer this question Otis has launched its new flexible modernisation solutions Arise MOD Prime and Plus in Europe. They are intended to help customers control the costs, tempo and phased planning of lift modernisation. Arise MOD: modular approach. Arise MOD was developed for the modernisation of rope lifts in residential and smaller commercial properties. Operators can choose between two versions - Arise MOD Prime and Arise MOD Plus - and as a result decide both the scope as well as the tempo of modernisation for themselves. "Prime" includes the exchange of the control system, an electronic frequency converter for more precise travel control and the connection to the IoT platform "Otis ONE" that is intended to facilitate continuous status monitoring. As a result, downtimes could be reduced and maintenance measures planned in advance, according to Otis. Convert system to the Otis Gen2 belt technology. Photo: (C) Otis Elevator Company The Plus package expands the modernisation with a new drive unit (with or without gears), new lift rope, an electronically controlled door drive, barrier-free controls and modern car equipment. Moreover, with the Plus package, customers can convert their system to the Otis Gen2 belt technology. These are intended to ensure improved travel quality with a gearless drive and polyurethane-coated steel ropes. If the existing drive unit is to be used to the end of its service life, this upgrade can also be carried out in modular form at a later date. "Many design options and energy efficiency" Arise MOD offers many design options, which can be flexibly integrated in existing buildings - often with minimum additional structural effort. According to the Group, another advantage is energy efficiency: the ReGen drive technology uses energy that would otherwise be lost as heat, and feeds it back into the electricity grid. As a result, the energy consumption in the building compared to systems without recovery technology will fall. Arise MOD is currently available in Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom; other markets are to follow. Gen3: networked lift complete solutions. While Arise MOD is conceived above all for the phased modernisation of existing lifts, the Gen3 platform relies on intelligent and networked lift complete solutions. The Gen3 series includes eight models - Gen3 Core, Gen3 Peak, Gen3 Edge, Gen3 Flex, Gen3 Switch, Gen3 Home, Gen3 Bedlift and Gen3 Robusta - and as a result covers a multitude of building types: residential buildings, offices, hotels, health facilties, industrial buildings and shopping centres. Technically, Gen3 is based on known developments. According to Otis, the patented belts made of polyurethane-coated steel strands are lighter and lower maintenance than conventional steel ropes. The Pulse system continuously monitors its status. Fitted with a new operating panel. Real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance was possible via the Otis ONE IoT platform. In emergencies, the Otisline customer service can be contacted directly via the eView car display in the car. At the same time, it serves as an information screen. The Gen3 platform features standard functions like LED lighting, sleep mode and ReGen drive technology, which can reduce energy consumption and the CO[2] footprint. The Gen3 Core lift is fitted with a new operating panel, revised landing elements and external calls and displays. The introduction of the Gen3 platform has been taking place in stages in Europe and the Middle East since the beginning of the year and complements the existing product range of the Gen360 platform.
