AGETECH STARTUP COMPETITION

AgeTech Startup Competition has already ended — stay tuned for more exciting news!

AgeTech (Silvertech) focuses on technology and innovation to improve the lives of senior people. We have almost 100M senior citizens in Europe alone and the number is growing.  

According to the EU commission's recent study, almost 50% of senior citizens are digitally excluded.  The sense of exclusion affects senior citizens' mental, physical health and impacts the economy. Senior citizens don't use digital services because they aren't built according to their needs.  

AgeTech is to become a significant sector of the Longevity economy, aiming to develop services purchased by older people on behalf of older people or traded between older people.  

SOLUTION

AgeTech solutions cut across all areas of the economy. First of all, it includes technologies designed for the community of 50+ years of age.  

VERTICALS WE TARGET

Dating, Communication, Travel, Mobility, Entertainment, Sports

MedTech, Wellness, Mental Health, BioTech, Telemedicine, Digital healthcare – software solutions only

for senior citizens and their caregivers, retirement 2.0

COVID-19 showed us how vulnerable aged people are. Longitude and isolation hit senior citizens more than any other social group.  

We believe that the AgeTech industry has an immense social impact, and to support the startups solving the problems of aging people, we organize a special startup pitch competition.
