Inclusive Africa 2025 returns to Nairobi this June!

A bold call to scale digital accessibility in Africa

In a digital era rich with connection, innovation, and opportunity, many Africans with disabilities continue to face barriers to full participation not due to lack of ability or ambition, but because systems and technologies are yet to fully reflect their needs and potential.

That’s why this June, the Inclusive Africa Conference 2025 returns to Nairobi with a powerful and timely theme: ‘Scaling digital accessibility through innovation and entrepreneurship’

From June 3rd to 5th, 2025, global and regional leaders, innovators, and advocates will come together—both in person at JW Marriott Nairobi and virtually to explore how Africa can lead the way in building accessible digital futures.

Why does this matter now

Digital accessibility is not just a technology issue, it is a human rights issue.

Everyone, regardless of ability, deserves equal access to information, opportunities, and services.

This year’s conference will shine a light on how assistive technologies, disability-led innovation, and inclusive entrepreneurship are changing what’s possible across the continent. But meaningful change will require more than great ideas. It will require intentional collaboration across sectors, governments, tech companies, funders, innovators, educators, and, most importantly, youth with disabilities—working together to co-create long-term solutions.

What’s new in 2025? Shaping the Future of Digital Accessibility in Africa

Organized by inABLE, this year’s Inclusive Africa Conference will spotlight transformative ideas and breakthrough solutions in accessibility and innovation. Through powerful keynote sessions, thought-provoking discussions, and collaborative panels, the event aims to advance equity in the digital space.

Key highlights include:

• Impactful discussions, keynote sessions, and expert panels – featuring thought leaders, innovators, and advocates shaping the future of accessible technology.
• The Assistive Technology Innovation Village – showcasing groundbreaking African assistive tech solutions.
• Youth-led Panels – bringing together emerging entrepreneurs, change-makers, and disability champions from across the continent.
• Digital Accessibility & Assistive Technology Innovations Award – honoring human-centered design and visionary entrepreneurship.
• Community Watch Parties – locally hosted sessions across Africa to broaden participation and engagement.
• Live Global Streaming – ensuring every voice can be heard, regardless of geography.

Together, we’re building a digital world that works for everyone, equitable, innovative, and open to all.

We are designing with accessibility in mind

The digital divide in Africa is real issue. But it’s not insurmountable. With thoughtful accessible design, intentional innovation, and collective action, it can be bridged.

The message is simple:
 Accessibility is a right, not a privilege.
 And we must design with it in mind.

From policies to platforms, from coding to communication, we must continually ask: Who might we be leaving out and how can we bring them in?
