Inclusive Web Wins 2025 Best in Business Award for AI in Social Good


Inclusive Web is honoured to have won the 2025 Inc. Best In Business Awards in the category for Best AI Implementation for Social Good. This award acknowledges our efforts as one of the few companies that use Leverage technological advances to improve the Society at Large while continuing the expansion of our own company.

The award represents more than simply an acknowledgement of our work; it is also a celebration of many years of dedicated efforts by our team members to make the digital economy accessible to everyone. For individuals with disabilities, access to the Internet is often limited or non-existent and our goal has always been to change that.

This award signifies our dedication to providing companies and communities with AI-based tools to help people comply with Accessibility Guidelines, eliminate Digital Barriers and provide Equal Access to Information, Options and Benefits for all individuals.

A Recognition Rooted in Purpose

The Inc. Best in Business Awards recognize organizations that are making positive social impacts based on more than just revenue or growth, but also based on their use of innovative techniques to do so. Recognizing the Inclusive Web in the "AI in Social Good" category highlights our position as a leader in utilizing technology to create equitable access and opportunities that positively impact society.

The rise of digital technologies means that we do more of our everyday activities, such as shopping, banking, and healthcare, online. However, 1 billion individuals worldwide continue to experience barriers to accessing websites and mobile applications because of their disabilities. 

Inclusive Web is dedicated to closing this widening gap by providing organizations with tools and technologies that empower them to locate and resolve accessibility concerns quickly by leveraging cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence, extensive tester knowledge, and a user-centered design process.

 Our solutions provide teams with a clearer understanding of the obstacles that individuals with disabilities face, help them take definite and actionable steps toward improving accessibility, and support them in sustaining compliance with best practice standards. Additionally, our solutions allow for the creation of a more seamless experience for users with disabilities. Winning this award validates our mission of creating a digital world where everyone can fully engage and participate equally.

Why Inclusive Web Stands Out

The award honours Inclusive Web for its creative combination of AI-based technology for accessibility testing, an extensive amount of knowledge and experience, and a quality-driven human-centred approach. Rather than providing only generic automated testing tools, Inclusive Web supplies an innovative mixed solution to enable companies to quickly and effectively discover, learn about and resolve accessibility issues in their products and services.

Several factors set Inclusive Web apart:

  • Our AI solves real problems. Using state-of-the-art machine learning technology, our platform allows you to scan and identify accessibility issues throughout your website and application in seconds rather than hours/days, as is presently the case.

  • We're not giving you generic recommendations. The Inclusive Web Platform does more than just identify issues; it offers detailed, step-by-step guidance that any team developing content or programming can use.

  • Designed for Organizations to Follow Long-Term Accessibility Standards. Our goal is to help organizations meet and comply with all Global Accessibility Standards, including the current WCAG, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as other Worldwide (e.g., International) accessibility standards.

  • We Create Technology for Humans. Inclusive Web's software tools all share one central goal – creating a better online experience for those with disabilities, that is why we have created a partnership with many organizations to develop truly inclusive digital ecosystems.

Addressing the Accessibility Crisis at Scale

Digital platforms are now ubiquitous in our lives, yet many sites lack features that enable low vision users to see enough contrast between text and photos; provide no means for people unable to use a mouse to move around the site with only the keyboard; do not include alt text so that screen readers can read a picture; and do not provide captions so that people unable to hear can read what they hear.

Because so many individuals lack these critical features, millions of individuals are denied:

  • Managing their health via telemedicine

  • Accessing financial resources

  • Communicating with family members and coworkers

  • Purchasing essential products

  • Obtaining employment or obtaining an education

Inclusive Web is closing this gap through a combination of:

1. Top-of-the-Line AI Technology

AI helps us quickly find patterns, code problems, and content issues on your website and apps.

2. Specialized Accessibility Reviews and Inspection 

An actual person checks that everything is accurate and user-friendly based on industry standards, along with providing recommendations for improving your website and apps.

3. Designs Focused on Users with Disabilities 

We base our designs around real-world users who are disabled so that you know the changes you make truly help users with disabilities access your product.

4. Tools Designed for Large Organizations. 

Large organizations and global brands use Inclusive Web to provide consistent accessibility support across hundreds and thousands of pages.

Combining our precision, automation, and expertise, Inclusive Web allows companies to achieve significant improvement in website and application accessibility like regular Accessibility Software can't.

Innovation That Drives Social Good

At Inclusive Web, all of our innovation brings us closer to fulfilling our mission of making digital content accessible for everyone. By utilizing Accessible Design Principles, any organization can create equal access for:

  • Job Seekers

  • Students

  • Patients

  • Customers

  • Community Members

This is why the category of “AI for Social Good” is very important to us. We use technology that doesn’t just enhance websites but rather enables people to enhance their lives.

With the help of our services, any business can create an environment allowing:

  • Users with Visual Disabilities to Navigate and Move Freely

  • Individuals with Cognitive Impairments to Better Comprehend Content

  • Individuals with Motor Disabilities to Interact with Ease

  • Individuals Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing to Interact with multimedia content.

Building a stronger community requires access to more inclusive digital spaces.

The Team Behind the Achievement

This award is also a celebration of the incredible people who make Inclusive Web possible. Our engineers, accessibility experts, designers, testers, and support teams have worked tirelessly to push boundaries and deliver meaningful solutions.

Their passion, creativity, and commitment are at the heart of every innovation.
This recognition belongs to them.

Looking Ahead: Shaping the Future of Accessible AI

The Inclusive Web project's improvements to AI are meant to improve the AI's accuracy of identifying issues, speed in generating insight, and clarity and personalization in solution.

  • Development of Proactive and Inclusive Tools - A series of tools is currently being developed that will help teams identify and prevent accessibility issues as part of the design and development process. The use of these tools will set the standard for ensuring that accessibility is part of every project from the earliest phases.

  • Long-Term Compliance - Our next release will focus primarily on ease of access to continued monitoring, automatic notifications when an organization is at risk of violating WCAG or ADA or other internationally-regulated web accessibility standards, and providing resources to support organizations in their efforts to achieve compliance.

  • Improved Understanding of Users - Our goal is to create user-centered insights and tools that help organizations develop digital experiences that people of all abilities can easily use.

  • Continued Collaboration and Impact - The Inclusive Web Project will continue to collaborate with the accessibility community and accessibility specialists to ensure that a humane and respectful approach to creating digital environments will be taken when developing a more inclusive digital environment for all.

A Commitment Reinforced by Recognition

The attempts of Inclusive Web have been acknowledged by Inc. Magazine by featuring it on its 2025 Best of Business List for “The Best Implementation of AI for Social Good.” This prize is a great reflection of the mission of the Inclusive Web.
