Inva Store is a small Danish family business in Roskilde. We supply aids for blind and visually impaired people – braille embossers, swell paper for tactile graphics, video magnifiers (CCTV) and reading machines – to municipalities, regions, schools, resource centres, libraries, institutions and businesses throughout Denmark.
Who is behind our advice
Advice at Inva Store is given by Sergiy Moskalets. He is Operations Manager at Inva Store and has worked with assistive technology and IT for blind and visually impaired people since 1999. He trained in economics and business management and holds a master's degree in public administration.
In Ukraine he organised computer courses with screen readers for blind people from 1999 – first under the Ukrainian Association of the Blind (UTOS), the counterpart of the Danish Association of the Blind, and from 2000 in the organisation "Social Rehabilitation Centre for the Blind" in Kharkiv, which he led until the war. In 2001 the organisation was one of three winners in the social category of the World Bank's competition for innovative projects in Ukraine. From 2008 it ran a guide service together with the city council and the local employment centres, in which unemployed people were trained as guides for blind people. The service was introduced in six regions, and in Kharkiv up to 50 guides worked every day. For several years he was also an adviser to the Mayor of Kharkiv and a member of the city council's accessibility committee.
At the same time our company in Ukraine was one of the largest suppliers of assistive technology for blind and visually impaired people. We worked directly with more than 30 manufacturers in Europe and the USA and supplied private customers as well as state and municipal institutions. We now use that experience in Denmark, where we came as refugees from Ukraine.
Today he works directly with dozens of manufacturers and developers of assistive technology: at yearly meetings in Frankfurt, in ongoing online discussions of problems and solutions, and by translating software and devices into Ukrainian and Danish. He uses a screen reader and braille display himself, and we test that the webshop works with screen readers. See his profile on LinkedIn.
