What you need to know about the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?
Digital accessibility involves designing technology that is available and usable for everyone, regardless of their abilities or limitations. This includes adapting websites, mobile applications, and digital interfaces to be accessible to people with various disabilities—visual, auditory, motor, as well as seniors and neurodiverse individuals.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is a European Union directive that, starting from June 28, 2025, requires websites, applications, and digital services to comply with WCAG standards, ensuring equal access to information and services for all users.

The new Accessibility Act (European Accessibility Act, EAA) is a significant change that will affect many companies operating in the European Union, including in Poland. Starting in 2025, businesses will need to adapt their websites, mobile applications, and other digital services to meet WCAG accessibility standards. Implementing these requirements will not only help fulfill legal obligations but also open doors to a broader customer base, including people with disabilities. For many companies, this is an opportunity to enhance their reputation and increase competitiveness in the market. How will the EAA impact business operations, and what steps should be taken to effectively implement the new standards?
