Against Loneliness and for Digital Participation in Old Age
GETA International
Establishment of a learning and development partnership for Berlin companies
Establishment of a learning and development partnership for Berlin companies
The aim of the project is to establish a transfer network of contacts from the social, health and technology industries in the greater Berlin area and companies from GETA-target regions (US/Singapore) working in the fields of Age Tech or Digital Health, in order to sustainably improve the living conditions of older people.
As part of this network, the participants will gain faster access to validated innovations, expertise, best practices and evaluation results from the other region. An exchange of experience that can lead to the joint, international and intersectional development of new products and raise the expansion potential for Berlin companies to a new level. This can increase Berlin's attractiveness for start-ups from all over the world.
