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 IAF Institute for Ageing Research, in partnership with the Age Foundation and together with sponsors such as Margerite, promotes innovative and passionate ideas that can sustainably change and improve the lives of older people with their projects. In addition to technological innovations, social innovations will also be specifically promoted from 2026 onwards. These include solutions that enable new forms of coexistence, support, and participation for older people.

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