Our engagement
Our work is our passion. We are active members of several organisations with three main goals:
1) to make technology accessible and usable for all - worldwide
2) to be at the forefront of latest innovations
3) to foster awareness

World Usability Day
We have signed the Usability Charter and support the World Usability Day.
We agree to observe World Usability Day each year, to provide a single worldwide day of events around the world that brings together communities of professional, industrial, educational, citizen and governmental groups for our common objective: to ensure that technology helps people live to their full potential and helps create a better world for all citizens everywhere.
