After a successful first edition last year, the Age Innovation Prize is entering its second round in 2024.
This year we are once again looking for products and projects with the potential to make a real difference to the lives of older people and to promote their independence, social integration, quality of life, or health. Help us in our mission to create a better future for senior citizens.
