Discover the winners of the 9th Silver Surfer call for projects!
The 9th edition of the “Silver Surfer” call for projects was launched in October 2023 with the ambition of sourcing innovation for the benefit of the ageing population, in order to find solutions that will make a lasting and tangible improvement to their daily lives.
This year, in order to prioritise the identification of needs, a number of organisations providing support to older people were consulted. Then, they volunteered to serve as a testing ground. This approach highlighted their concerns, which guided the choice of themes for this 9th edition:
- Improving the ergonomics of everyday objects,
- Facilitating exchanges,
- Preventing undernutrition and malnutrition,
- Encouraging independence through mobility.
The call for projects was open to companies, start-ups or associations based in Hauts-de-France or wishing to open a subsidiary in the region.
During the first application phase, from October to December 2023, nearly 31 applications were received.
A panel of experts and institutional partners then selected the final winners from among these applicants. The winners will be presented with their prizes at the AgeingFit business convention!
