New groundbreaking EU Project - AAL SMART AGING

Together with very strong partners we have the pleasure to coordinate this exiting new project!

Smart Senior Entrepreneurship

People who enter the workforce later in life, live longer, and seniors in growing numbers wish to contribute professionally to society for the second half of their life. As lifetime expectancies increase, there is also a growing need for seniors to stay active for a longer time in the work life, whilst keeping their skills up to date and using their lifelong domain expertise and network.

Our project will develop a proof of concept for a digital solution for matchmaking of senior competence to the needs of startups, in cooperation with relevant businesses and end-user stakeholders from 4 European countries.

Our goal

We aim to create awareness of senior core values, skills and passion and transform these into sustainable business ideas. We do this by offering seniors a low threshold while motivating, facilitating and strengthening senior entrepreneurship.

Smart senior entrepreneurship has a goal to mobilize, facilitate and enable older adults into entrepreneurship.

Through cooperation with the startup system, which need the brain power and involvement in their own or other young companies, we aim to encourage a flexible healthy ageing by utilizing senior resources in entrepreneurship.
