Inclusive Technology Takes Center Stage on Canal Trece
Enciso Systems' collaboration with blind specialist featured in MinTIC's science series
September 06, 2025
Enciso Systems, a leader in scientific web development, was recently featured in the Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies' (MinTIC) television series "Ciencia y TecnologĂa al Descubierto" on Canal Trece. The segment highlighted the company's groundbreaking work in web accessibility, emphasizing its commitment to including underrepresented communities in the national digital ecosystem. The feature showcased how Enciso Systemsâ projects, developed for top-tier scientific institutions, are built with universal design principles from the ground up.
The episode detailed how Enciso Systems integrates accessibility expertise directly into its development process. A key focus was the collaboration with David Coronado, a blind web accessibility [1] specialist, whose lived experience is instrumental in auditing and ensuring the company's platforms are navigable for users with visual disabilities. This practice of involving underrepresented communities ensures that the digital tools powering major scientific research are inclusive and equitable for all citizens.
The Canal Trece [2] video features powerful testimonials from the project's key contributors. David Coronado shared his experience, stating, "Working with Enciso Systems has been a profound experience. It demonstrates that when companies intentionally include blind professionals in the development process, they don't just meet accessibility standardsâthey create a richer, more intuitive experience for every single user."
The 23-minute video also highlights perspective from web content specialist Ingry Romero, who emphasized the project's broader mission, adding, "Our goal is to make complex scientific data not only available but also comprehensible and usable for everyone, regardless of ability. This project reinforces our belief that science and technology must be pillars of inclusion." These testimonials underscore how inclusive development practices result in more effective technology solutions for all users.
This national recognition underscores a core tenet of Enciso Systemsâ mission: to bridge the gap between advanced science and society. By prioritizing accessibility, the company ensures that the websites and data pipelines it builds for global institutions like the European Space Agency are also empowering local communities in Colombia, creating new pathways for education and collaboration.
