Seas2Grow
We are a partner in Seas2Grow, a European project helping to improve the lives of the ageing population, and we run the UK arm of the cross-border Agetech Accelerator, which supports the development of innovative solutions, products and services for older people so that they can remain at home for longer
AgeTech Accelerator
AgeTech Accelerator provides free business support to innovators with products and services for the silver economy, and helps innovators overcome barriers to access markets in four countries. The programme is funded by SEAS2Grow – an Interreg 2 Seas project designed to set up a proactive silver economy ecosystem to accelerate the delivery of innovations for markets across the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
AgeTech Accelerator is the only innovation accelerator in Europe specialising in the silver economy that:
- Offers free advice on routes to market
- Can help access markets in four countries
- Provides free testing in the lab and field
- Runs specialist labs of real users recruited from thousands of older consumers
- Taps into the detailed knowledge of in-country experts specialising in the needs of older people
- Does not charge any fees or require any equity
- Gives the opportunity to sit down with potential buyers, commissioners, resellers and distributors to develop a strong value proposition and model
- Can make introductions to an invaluable silver economy business network
