Irish technology start-up Nexus Inclusion has formally launched a business-to-business digital accessibility and inclusion platform, backed by €3.5 million in private investment, targeting organisations facing growing compliance obligations under the European Accessibility Act, which came into effect in June 2025. The development, reported by Think Business, positions the company to address a significant gap in digital accessibility adoption across the commercial web.

Fewer than 4% of the world's top one million websites currently meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, despite an estimated one billion people globally living with a disability. Research indicates that approximately 71% of users with disabilities abandon inaccessible websites, contributing to an estimated $13 billion (approximately €10.9 billion) in lost revenue annually.

The AI-powered platform scans websites, content, images and video to identify accessibility barriers, then provides detailed remediation guidance in some cases generating code directly for development teams. The approach is designed to move beyond issue identification into practical resolution, a distinction founder Kyran O'Mahoney describes as central to the product's value.

O'Mahoney, a vision-impaired entrepreneur with senior technology experience at Ryanair, Dunnes Stores and AIB, said: "Most digital accessibility software can scan and identify issues. The difficult part is fixing the problem."

He added: "Everything is contextualised; the platform explains why there is a problem, which disability it affects, and how to fix it."

The platform is available on a subscription basis from €49 per month, with tiered plans spanning small businesses to large enterprises. Nexus Inclusion currently employs eight people and plans to add seven further roles across sales, technology and accessibility functions in 2026.
