Skilling: One of the things that excites me about AI is its ability to personalize to individual needs. In this short clip from Ability Summit, Natalie Worden-Cowe explains how AI Skills Navigator is reimagining learning, using AI to customize the experience for each learner. Natalie summed it up perfectly: "Before AI Skills Navigator, the tools that I had, I needed to transform the way I learned in order to use them. Now the content is transformed to meet my needs." It's a powerful example of how AI can help make learning more accessible and effective. This 2-minute video is worth your time: https://lnkd.in/ge4D4BwC

How do you write a Korean webtoon when Korean isn’t your first language? Meet Min-ji So, one of very few Deaf webtoon creators in Korea. For creators whose first language is sign language, writing can mean expressing ideas in a language that doesn’t come as naturally. Through Microsoft Elevate’s AI for Impact program, Min-ji used Microsoft Copilot to refine language, develop ideas, and shape her stories. She then applied that experience to create something that could help other Deaf creators navigate similar challenges in their own creative work. Min-ji’s work shows how one creator’s insight can help open new creative paths for others. Read her story: https://lnkd.in/gffwUHRa

What does it look like when accessibility becomes a growth strategy for partners? For Microsoft partners, accessibility is shifting from a compliance checklist to a true competitive edge. In this blog, we highlight how partners like Level Access and Inclusively are turning inclusive innovation into real customer impact. From new customer entry points to scaling through Microsoft Marketplace, these ISVs show how accessibility drives both business value and meaningful change. That momentum is expanding what’s possible across the ecosystem, bringing partners, customers, and communities together to make technology work for everyone. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gSfnEQ7i

What if a more inclusive workplace started simply by listening? That's where Scope began. They used Microsoft 365 Copilot to reduce the everyday barriers their employees were running into, so more people can do their best work.

What if the tools you relied on at work made your job harder, not easier? For Scope, it started with listening to employees who were being held back by the very tools meant to support them. By rethinking their digital environment and using Microsoft 365 Copilot, they’ve reduced barriers, streamlined everyday tasks, and created a workplace where more people can contribute fully, while spending less time navigating systems. It’s a reminder that the experience of work is shaped by the tools we use every day and when those tools don’t work for everyone, neither does the workplace.

Accessibility is the difference between being there and fully participating. As an official Seattle FIFA World Cup 2026 host city supporter, Microsoft is bringing our commitment to accessibility to one of the world’s biggest stages. From ticket purchase to stadium experience, we’re working to make every moment inclusive by design. Because when Washington welcomes the world, everyone should be able to experience it fully. #WeAreSeattle #Accessibility #FIFAWorldCup2026 #InclusiveDesign

What can disability teach us about leadership? For Microsoft’s David Dame, it’s vulnerability, trust, and how to move forward — even when things don’t go perfectly. For years, leadership was often associated with certainty. Today, it’s better defined by the willingness to listen, adapt, and learn. In his book, Leading with Imperfect Feet, David shares how disability, inclusive design, and a mindset of continuous experimentation have shaped his approach to leadership. His reflections offer a fresh perspective on what it takes to lead in a world that’s constantly changing. Read more: https://msft.it/6005v9niP

Accessibility starts with listening, and sometimes the most inspiring ideas come from the youngest voices. Last week in Innsbruck, Austria, Microsoft had the privilege of joining MED-EL for IDEASforEARS—a global children’s contest where children, many with a personal connection to hearing implants, share ideas to improve life with hearing loss. Families from around the world gathered to present their innovations, learn from one another, and celebrate what’s possible. We were proud to support the event with Surface Go devices, helping teams communicate across languages and hearing needs. Watching these young innovators connect, exchange ideas, and build understanding across cultures was a powerful reminder: inclusive innovation is not just about technology. It is about making space for everyone to participate. Congratulations to all the winners.👏 Special thanks to the team that made this possible. MED-EL: Carolina Klotz, Patrick D'Haese, PhD, MBA, Jennifer Robinson, geoffrey ball, Emre Coskun, Hans-Jürgen Seifen, Hakan Erbas and many others from MED-EL.

At Ability Summit 2026, leaders Jenny Lay-Flurrie, Neil Barnett, Clint Covington, Ed Summers, and James Hunter reinforced what matters most: designing with people with disabilities from the start. When you build with the community, you create better systems for everyone.

As AI moves from possibility to reality faster than ever, how do we ensure technology works for everyone? We design with people with disabilities from the start. People with disabilities have helped shape some of the world's most transformative technologies, from closed captions to voice control. Today, that same spirit of innovation is helping define how AI is built, adopted, and used across industries. At Ability Summit 2026, our leaders shared their commitment to listening, learning, and building together. https://lnkd.in/eicvB93z

Building more inclusive pathways to employment. At Goodwill NYNJ, accessibility and employment go hand in hand. Through its nonprofit staffing arm, GoodTemps, the organization helps people with disabilities and others facing barriers to employment find meaningful work. When resume formatting slowed down placements, Goodwill partnered with Microsoft through Hack4Good to co-create Resume Builder, an AI-powered tool built with disability experts. The impact: more than 800 resumes processed, and less time spent editing documents, giving staff more time to directly support job seekers. Accessibility isn’t just about technology. It’s about creating tools that help more people fully participate and thrive at work. Read the story: https://lnkd.in/gxC3_gGz Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/dXbqCePw
