The app strives to break down societal barriers by highlighting inclusive practices and organizations. Its future plans include expanding to more areas and languages by the Tokyo 2020 Games, with a target of one million entries. BMAPS also emphasizes partnerships with government, public, and private sectors to improve accessibility worldwide.
