As a Switzerland-wide competition, the Age Innovation Prize promotes innovative technological ideas that address the challenges of age(ing).
With the Age Innovation Prize, we support innovative and passionate developers and companies with an idea for products that can change the lives of older people and promote their independence, autonomy, quality of life or health.
The prize will be awarded for the second time in 2024. We are once again looking for products and projects this year.
The implementation is currently in the planning phase. As soon as all the details have been finalised (in spring 2024), you will find information on deadlines, requirements, jury, etc. at Age Innovation Prize 2024.
