AgeingFit is the first European event fostering innovation for well-being in older age, gathering all actors involved in the innovation cycle from research to market, along with the key players.
The objective is to promote today’s innovative products and services and identify tomorrow’s market needs for healthy ageing.
Steered by an international and prestigious committee, the AgeingFit conference programme is designed to address
the main issues of the healthy ageing and care sectors: from major financial and regulatory aspects to the latest innovations in health, nutrition and care.
The programme is organised around 4 tracks addressing the challenges of innovation for ageing well, from prevention to care:
Developing innovations in the Silver Economy
As the Silver Economy continues to evolve, this track aims to provide clear guidance on how to enter this market, and how to create innovative products, services and technologies that meet the needs of an ageing population. For entrepreneurs, start-ups, investors, researchers, and industry professionals interested in creating and investing in exciting innovations, this track offers insights from seasoned experts to guide you through the most up-to-date investment strategies, regulatory frameworks and distribution landscapes.
Preventing, diagnosing and treating age-related conditions
Health is no longer solely focused on treatment to proactive prevention and intervention. This track explores the critical elements of lifelong prevention, behavioral change, and targeted approaches to age-related conditions. Delving into the realms of nutrition, physical activity, and the biology of ageing, it encompasses a comprehensive view of health for older adults.
Intended for healthcare professionals, policymakers, nutritionists, clinicians, and researchers, this track will explore strategies, ongoing research, and concrete initiatives that contribute to the holistic well-being of ageing individuals and society.
Innovation in residential and home care
This track investigates pioneering solutions and models in residential care and home care settings, highlighting ways to improve care, safety and independence of older adults, as well as responding to workforce shortages.
Focusing on the evolving landscape of care for older adults, from assisted living to ageing in place, this track is designed for caregivers, home care providers, facility operators, clinicians and professionals in the senior living and home care sectors. It will explore how technological and organisational innovations can support better quality care for all.
Social and societal innovation for ageing well
While older adults sometimes suffer from a lack of independence, they can also suffer from undesired isolation and loneliness, accelerating some ageing conditions. This track examines initiatives that promote social inclusion, intergenerational connections, and age-friendly communities, aiming to create an environment where older adults can lead fulfilling lives.
For care providers, social entrepreneurs, policymakers, nonprofit organisations, researchers, and any advocates for social and societal change in support of older adults, this track will feature change-makers working on mental health and social inclusion issues.
