Nagish Joins WAWABILITY to Champion Communication Access at Groundbreaking ADA Celebration

On July 2, 2025, Nagish, an innovative leader in AI-powered communication tools for the deaf and hard of hearing, proudly announced its partnership with WAWABILITY 2025 as an official sponsor. Scheduled for July 11-12 in Washington, D.C., this year's WAWABILITY event marks a celebration of 35 years of transformative progress propelled by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Tomer Aharoni, CEO and co-founder of Nagish, is set to be a key speaker at the event, which features an impressive lineup of pioneers, legislators, and innovators dedicated to advancing accessibility. Aharoni's panel, titled "Design, Capital, Impact: The Future of Disability Startup," will delve into the potential of merging investor discipline with inclusive design to foster a thriving ecosystem for disability-centered startups. The discussion will also outline essential components for building a sustainable innovation economy that addresses the needs of those with disabilities, covering topics from mentorship to investor readiness.

Joining him for the discussion will be respected figures such as Diego Mariscal, founder of 2Gether-International, an accelerator supporting entrepreneurs with disabilities; Michael Bervell, CEO of TestParty, which focuses on AI-driven digital accessibility compliance; and Chris Maher from Samaritan Partners, a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage companies catering to the disability community.

As a notable highlight leading up to the conference, Nagish has received the prestigious WAWABILITY Golden Heart award, a recognition given to organizations demonstrating exceptional commitment to accessibility, compassion, trust, service, and empathy—in line with their A.C.T.S.E. initiative. The award acknowledges Nagish’s steadfast mission to ensure seamless communication for everyone, particularly those with hearing impairments, by delivering secure and private AI-driven speech-to-text solutions.

"Significant changes are paving the way for a more accessible future, breaking down barriers and empowering individuals in pursuit of their goals," commented Aharoni. He emphasized the importance of communication access as central to this progress. "Our goal at Nagish is to deliver AI-enhanced tools that promote autonomy and independence. I eagerly anticipate discussing the next barriers the tech industry can dismantle."

Nagish has dedicated itself to making communication accessible and private for individuals with varying degrees of hearing loss. By leveraging its FCC-certified speech-to-text services, users can experience accurate communication in diverse scenarios—from everyday conversations to critical situations like health care consultations and emergencies.

In addition to its focus on technology, Nagish's involvement in WAWABILITY signifies the essential contribution of communication technology in fostering an inclusive society where everyone has a voice.

WAWABILITY itself promises to be an extraordinary two-night event showcasing artists with disabilities who are redefining boundaries in the fields of comedy, music, and performance.
