The World Wide Web Foundation has officially closed its doors, asserting that its mission to enhance web accessibility has largely been achieved, and others will continue the work.
Since its inception in 2009, the foundation has actively worked to increase global internet access, contributing to growth from 20% to around 70% of the world’s population.
Co-founders Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Rosemary Leith expressed their wish to address new challenges, indicating a shift in focus beyond just web accessibility.
The closure of the Foundation—which was vital for initiating internet inclusivity—highlights a significant milestone, as many other organizations now carry forward its mission.
