Prompted by the development of generative AI, the company, Nexus Inclusion, is set to launch ahead of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) coming into force on June 28th, 2025. The EU legislation requires all businesses trading in Europe to have digitally accessible websites, apps and online products.

Founder and CEO Kyran O’Mahoney, an award-winning tech entrepreneur, was born with a 17 per cent vision. He knows firsthand the challenges of navigating life in a digital era.

“I founded Nexus Inclusion to change the world so no one is excluded because they are different,” commented founder Kyran O’Mahoney. “It is my firm belief that technology and, more importantly, the emergence of AI is the next thing to change the world for people excluded from digital products.”
