Generative AI tool for digital inclusion secures €2m from investors
Summary
Nexus Inclusion, a developer of AI software to make the Internet more accessible abilities, has secured 2 million in funding from private investors.Prompted by the development of generative AI, the company is set to launch ahead of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) coming into force on 28 June 2025. The legislation requires all businesses trading in Europe to have digitally accessible websites, apps and online products.I founded Nexus Inclusion to change the world so no one is excluded because they are different, said entrepreneur Kyran OMahoney, who was born with 17% vision. Unlike accessible tools currently on the market, Nexus offers real-time solutions for people of all abilities, empowering people with disabilities and those with social or economic restrictions to use technology independently.If you look at the banking sector, it is still incredibly inaccessible, yet we have an inherent right to financial independence and financial freedom. Some elderly, vision-impaired or people with learning difficulties cant read their own bank statements. It automatically adds captions or transcripts and ensures that digital products work with assistive technologies.
