The Raptors Legacy Meets AI Innovation
Our signature 2023 event marked a watershed moment in accessibility development. Now, as AI-powered accessibility tools demonstrate up to 60% reduction in implementation time (Deque Systems, 2023), we’re taking a quantum leap forward by integrating advanced AI technologies:
The Scale of Impact
With over 1 billion people globally living with some form of disability (WHO, 2024), and 71% of users with disabilities leaving inaccessible websites (Click-Away Pound Survey, 2023), our mission is more crucial than ever. The global assistive technology market is expected to reach $ 32.4 billion by 2026 (Allied Market Research, 2024), presenting an unprecedented opportunity for innovation.
