Accessibility in Germany

Economics Minister Clement: Accessibility has a considerable innovation and
growth potential
Extract: Aktion Mensch and Stiftung Digitale Chancen honoured the best
German accessible Websites with the BIENE Award in Berlin last night. Golden
BIENEs were awarded to the 'Postbank' and the 'Integrationsfachdienst Profil
Hamburg'. All in all 19 websites were honoured for their exceptional
accessibility. Federal Economics Minister Wolfgang Clement emphasized in his
welcoming address that every Internet application has to follow
accessibility standards. Herein lies a considerable innovation and growth
potential for a 'digital Germany'.
