Myles Igwebuike (Nigeria/UK) will present a case study on an e-learning library solution for a school for learners with impairments in Nigeria, highlighting accessibility in education, cross-disciplinary collaboration, systems thinking, service design, and the power of partnerships to create new opportunities.

Jeremy Hugh Aston (Portugal) will complement this perspective with accessibility-focused case studies that demonstrate how inclusive design can strengthen customer experiences, unlock innovation, and deliver tangible business value.

Moderated by Pia Betton (Germany). Pia is a business leader, design strategist, and trusted facilitator with more than 25 years of international experience – known for bridging creative ambition and business reality.

Join the next BEDA Connect and explore how to see inclusive design as a strategic advantage rather than an obligation. The session will offer practical insights and fresh inspiration for anyone looking to turn accessibility into a strategic advantage.

The session is organised by BEDA and is a public platform for sharing knowledge and raising awareness around the key objectives of MADres, a European initiative advancing design as a key enabler of sustainable growth, innovation, and economic value.
