Inspiration

In this episode of the Shift2 Podcast, our host Pouyan talks to two experts: Frits Karskens (accessibility expert at Shift2) and Marijn van der Laan (commercial director at Cardan Technobility). Together they explain why accessibility should have a permanent place in every organization.

Accessible education is about equal opportunities to learn and grow. Whether you need extra guidance, have trouble reading or just thrive in a digital learning environment: everyone should be able to participate. The same goes for government services. Residents should always and everywhere have access to information and services - regardless of their background, disability or digital skills.

On June 24, 2025, more than 200 public sector professionals gathered at DeFabrique in Utrecht for the very first Shift2 the Future event. A milestone for Shift2 and a vibrant day on which we energetically explored the digital future of government together with clients, partners and colleagues.
