In the field of mobile applications, its importance is especially relevant given the volume of users and the limitations that anyone, at any given time, can find at the level of usability. From our stand at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) we will show the optimal solutions to comply with a requirement that goes beyond ethics: it is obliged by law and subject to harsh economic sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Companies that embark on the development of a mobile app for their business, of whatever type, must count on being accessible not only to people with blindness or reduced mobility, but to any user with a temporary disability, such as conjunctivitis or a physical injury. However, and despite the fact that we are already fully in the era of 5G, browsing websites and mobile apps continues to be an odyssey for the 4 million people who have some type of disability in Spain, 1,000 million worldwide. This is how Juanjo Montiel, blind developer and head of Accessibility at Pasiona, explains:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Accesibilidad.

The organization estimates that this year&#8217;s event will leave 492 million euros in Barcelona and Hospitalet.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more? Come and visit us.
