Overview
AccessiWay is an Italian digital accessibility company founded in 2021 by Eldad Barnoon, Gianni Vernetti, and Amit Borsok. The company focuses on improving access to digital products for people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. Its work combines software, automated and manual assessment, user testing, training, and regulatory guidance for organizations that need to improve the accessibility of their websites, web applications, and mobile applications. The company operates in a regulatory environment shaped by the European Accessibility Act, EN 301 549, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. It also works in relation to national frameworks including Italy’s Legge Stanca and AGID guidance, France’s RGAA, Germany’s BFSG and BITV 2.0, and Austria’s accessibility legislation. AccessiWay presents accessibility as both a legal and operational requirement and as a way for organizations to reach a wider audience and improve the quality of their digital services. Its offering includes the AccessiWay Platform, a web-based environment for monitoring accessibility issues and coordinating remediation; an accessibility widget providing configurable interface adjustments; an AI-supported accessibility scan; and professional services such as automated and manual audits, testing with people with disabilities, accessibility statements, and corporate training. The company emphasizes that automated tools and widgets are supplementary measures and do not replace comprehensive accessibility work or testing by users with disabilities. AccessiWay expanded beyond its Italian origins and established operations in Turin, Paris, Vienna, and Hamburg. The reference material describes a workforce of more than 120 people representing over 13 nationalities, as well as more than 1,500 clients in 20 countries. Reported customers include major organizations such as ING, UnipolSai, Allianz, Intesa Sanpaolo, Barilla, AXA, Dolce & Gabbana, Lavazza, BPER, Mediobanca, and Q8. By 2025, the company was also reported to serve more than 200 public administration bodies and over 55 organizations in fashion and retail. In December 2024, team.blue announced the acquisition of a majority stake in AccessiWay. The transaction placed the company within team.blue’s broader European digital-services and compliance network, which serves millions of customers. After the acquisition, AccessiWay began collaborating with iubenda, another team.blue company focused on privacy and compliance. From January 2025, iubenda referred certain enterprise customers with websites receiving more than one million page views to AccessiWay for accessibility services. AccessiWay also engages in advocacy and community activity. It is associated with the Interparliamentary Group on Digital Accessibility, works with people with disabilities and disability organizations, and has sponsored Disability Pride Turin. In 2024 it was recognized as one of LinkedIn’s Top 10 Startups. In 2025, ahead of the European Accessibility Act’s June 28 applicability date, the company participated in institutional events in Italy and promoted public discussion about digital accessibility. Its leadership has also contributed to media discussion of the effects of the European accessibility deadline on brands and businesses.
History
AccessiWay was established in Italy in 2021 by Eldad Barnoon, Gianni Vernetti, and Amit Borsok. From the outset, the company concentrated on digital accessibility rather than operating as a general-purpose web development or compliance provider. Its target users include people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments, while its commercial customers include private companies, public administrations, and organizations operating consumer-facing digital services. The company developed a service model that combines technology with expert intervention. Its software tools help organizations identify, organize, and monitor accessibility problems across websites and other digital properties. Its professional services extend this work through manual audits, automated testing, testing with people with disabilities, accessibility statements, training, and guidance related to European and national requirements. This combination reflects the limits of automated accessibility checking: software can identify many recurring technical issues, but complete accessibility work also requires human review, user testing, and changes to design, content, code, and internal processes. AccessiWay’s market expanded across Europe as accessibility regulation became more prominent. Its activities relate to the European Accessibility Act, EN 301 549, and WCAG 2.2 AA, as well as national regimes in Italy, France, Germany, and Austria. The company established offices in Turin, Paris, Vienna, and Hamburg and reported serving clients in 20 countries. Its reported customer base grew to more than 1,500 organizations, including financial institutions, insurers, food and beverage companies, energy and mobility businesses, luxury and fashion brands, and public bodies. Named customers include ING, UnipolSai, Allianz, Intesa Sanpaolo, Barilla, AXA, Dolce & Gabbana, Lavazza, BPER, Mediobanca, and Q8. In September 2024, AccessiWay was included in LinkedIn’s Top 10 Startups of 2024. The recognition came as the company was building visibility around the commercial and social importance of digital accessibility. Its reported workforce exceeded 120 people and included more than 13 nationalities, supporting its cross-border operations. On December 10, 2024, team.blue announced that it had acquired a majority stake in AccessiWay. The transaction, advised by DLA Piper, made AccessiWay part of team.blue’s wider European digital-enablement and compliance network. The combination gave team.blue an accessibility-focused capability and placed AccessiWay within a group serving more than 3.3 million customers across Europe. AccessiWay continued to be presented as a specialist accessibility business rather than being absorbed into a generic web-services proposition. After the acquisition, AccessiWay developed a strategic relationship with iubenda, another team.blue company specializing in privacy and compliance. Beginning in January 2025, iubenda referred enterprise customers with websites exceeding one million page views to AccessiWay for accessibility support. The collaboration connected privacy, compliance, and accessibility services for larger digital properties. AccessiWay has also pursued public engagement. It is associated with the Interparliamentary Group on Digital Accessibility and works with people with disabilities and disability organizations to inform its products and services. The company sponsored Disability Pride Turin and participated in Global Accessibility Awareness Day activities in 2023. In June 2025, before the European Accessibility Act’s June 28 applicability date, it took part in institutional events in Milan involving the Office of the President of the European Parliament in Italy and AGID. Chief executive Amit Borsok also appeared in media coverage discussing what the European accessibility deadline meant for brands. By 2025, the company reported more than 200 public-administration clients and more than 55 customers in fashion and retail, while continuing to pursue international expansion.
