Who's Leading Disability Inclusion in Germany

This is one entry in InkludX's Inclusion Atlas — a country-by-country, segment-by-segment scan of the organizations across Europe genuinely recognized for their disability-inclusion employment work: an award won, a scaled program, or a policy fingerprint behind the claim, not just a mention of "inclusion" on a website. Germany is one of InkludX's 5 launch markets.
