Interview Galway sisters on €50k EU prize for wheelchair innovation

2021-11-25

Download

Karen Coleman (Editor EU News Radio) talks with Ailbhe and Izzy Keane who today in Brussels were awarded the Rising Innovator 2021 prize which is awarded to an exceptional female innovator under the age of 30.

Ailbhe and Izzy Keane are the founders of Izzy Wheels which creates fashionable wheel covers for wheelchairs. The idea was inspired by Izzy who was born with Spina Bifida and is paralyzed from her waist down. Izzy has always seen her wheelchair as a symbol of freedom but never felt it expressed her personality. Ailbhe created a range of colourful wheel covers for her sister's chair as her final year project in The National College of Art and Design back in 2016. And the business grew from there.

The first part of the interview is with Ailbhe Keane and then the second part (begins at 03:10) is with Izzy Keane.
