On the 9th and 10th of March, blomeyer & sanz attended the European Summit on Innovation for Active and Healthy Ageing. The Summit aimed to engage Europe’s policy, services and market leaders to co-create a shared vision on how Europe can address the challenges and seize the opportunities arising from demographic change through ICT and innovation and in that way contribute to economic recovery. Various thematic debates, workshops, sand pits and live exhibitions focused on how could technology, innovation and new ways of cooperation help Europe to turn this major challenge into an opportunity. Several European Commissioners, national ministers, regional authorities, leaders from industry, social and health care, civil society, researchers and consumers came together to share insights and innovations that meet the needs of Europe’s ageing population.
