Preparing for the EU Accessibility Act

Cognizant Netcentric Podcast

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is here. As of late June 2025, businesses are required to make their digital services accessible to people with disabilities. While some see this as a regulatory burden, smart leaders see it for what it is: a competitive edge.

So, how do you move beyond the checklist mentality and unlock the real value of digital accessibility?

Drawing on a comprehensive guide from the experts at Cognizant Netcentric, this episode provides a strategic look at the EAA. We discuss how achieving compliance with WCAG 2.2 standards not only protects your business but also enhances brand reputation, drives SEO, and opens up new markets.
