The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires businesses selling in the EU to comply with accessibility standards by June 28, 2025, or face fines. To promote the importance of accessibility in the workplace, it's crucial to connect its value to business outcomes, especially in light of legal obligations like the EAA. Understanding and leveraging this act can help advocates for accessibility gain support from decision-makers.

As the enforcement of parts of the EU's AI Act approaches on August 2, companies and some politicians are advocating for a delay in its implementation. A key guidance document is also delayed, prompting concerns over compliance and clarity for businesses involved in AI development.
