As a partner of the eAccessibility Tour de France implemented by the Braillenet association, Afnic will be represented by its CEO Mathieu Weill at the conference, which focuses on the theme of “e-accessibility in business, an opportunity for CSR and performance.”
Dedicated to e-accessibility in business, this 3rd leg will provide an opportunity to raise corporate awareness about the challenges of digital accessibility, and find out more about the actions and solutions it inspires.
Major companies (such as Nokia, the French employment agency (Pôle Emploi), SNCF, IT-CE, and Orange) will recount how they have implemented e-accessibility while improving the productivity of disabled employees, the quality of their workstations, and skills of all their employees as a result.
The afternoon will also be used to share knowledge and best practices in order to help companies launch or improve their initiatives in favor of digital accessibility.
In his speech at the event, Mathieu Weill, Afnic CEO, will recall the association’s commitment with respect to digital solidarity and e-accessibility, and that since its creation Afnic has been working in favor of the online presence of French people and an Internet that is accessible to all.
