SUMMARY:European Summit on Innovation for Active and Healthy Ageing
DESCRIPTION:The Summit on Innovation for Active and Healthy Ageing aims 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. \nCentral topic: how can technology\, innovation and new ways of cooperation help Europe to turn this major challenge into an opportunity? Live demonstrations\, sand pits and an interactive exhibition will show in action what is being discussed and highlighted in thematic debates and knowledge-sharing sessions. A wide variety of meetings and side-events with one goal: to turn the opportunities of demographic ageing into growth and jobs for Europe. Several European Commissioners\, national ministers\, regional authorities and leaders from industry\, including SMEs and startups\, as well as civil society will take the floor and lead the debates. \nThe EU population is changing dramatically because of a higher life expectancy and a lower fertility: longer lives and fewer newborns. The number of European citizens over 80 will double by 2025 while the labour market is shrinking. Demographic change constitutes a colossal societal challenge and affects everyone. The ageing of our population can undermine the foundations of Europe’s health and social care systems. Our labour markets\, workforce and overall our cohesion as a society is at risk as the ratio of active vs. inactive people is shifting dramatically. \nBut demographic change also offers new opportunities for innovation\, growth and societal transformation that can benefit many millions. In our fast-paced and interconnected world\, driven by breakthrough technologies\, the right innovations for active and healthy ageing can help our citizens stay active and independent for more years\, while savings costs for governments and creating profits for businesses. A Digital Single Market can support a fairer\, more sustainable and prosperous society and the opportunities offered by the Silver Economy are immense. \nClick here to access the presentations and find out about the conclusions. \n
