By mid-2025, digital accessibility becomes law for European businesses. The European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882) ensures equal access for users with disabilities—but it also places legal responsibility on companies.
If your organization has more than 10 employees and makes over EUR 2 million annually, you’re required to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
