As a Switzerland-wide competition, the Age Innovation Prize promotes innovative technological ideas that address the challenges of age(ing).
With the Age Innovation Prize, we support innovative and passionate developers and companies with an idea for products that can change the lives of older people and promote their independence, autonomy, quality of life or health.
This year, for the second time, we are looking for innovative products and projects.
Six exciting projects have now been selected by the jury for the shortlist.
The award ceremony will take place on Thursday, 7 November 2024, as part of the mini-congress Research & Innovation for Age(ing) at Switzerland Innovation Park Ost.
