Breaking down Accessibility Barriers in the Digital World

What challenges do people face in the digital world? Digital accessibility is now a matter of legal compliance with the European Accessibility Act. However, complying with these laws is crucial not just because of the legal requirements, but because, despite technological novelties like AI, we are still failing to address basic issues such accesibility. Many people continue to face significant barriers when interacting with websites and mobile apps due to visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities.

In this talk, Minsait’s Accessibility team will share real-life cases of digital barriers and how we are breaking them down with innovative solutions. Accessibility is not just a requirement—it’s an opportunity to create seamless, inclusive digital experiences. Join us to see how we integrate it into our QA processes to ensure that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can interact with technology independently. More than a standard, a digital revolution for all.
