Age Innovation Prize

The Age Innovation Prize of the Institute for Ageing Research IAF is a Switzerland-wide competition that promotes innovative ideas that deal with the challenges of age(ing). It honours innovative projects in the field of AgeTech that promote the independence, social inclusion, quality of life and health of older people.

Demographic change is rapidly progressing and there is an urgent need for innovative products and ideas that enable older people to live independently and maintain their health and well-being while remaining socially integrated.

With the Age Innovation Prize, the Institute for Ageing Research IAF, in collaboration with EY Switzerland and other sponsors and partners, is promoting innovative and passionate developers who can sustainably change and improve the lives of older people with their projects as part of the AGE-INT project. AGE-INT is the largest Switzerland-wide research project to address the opportunities and challenges of demographic change from a variety of perspectives.

The Age Innovation Prize helps to create a better future for older people.
