ageing asia awards shortlist & wins | 2023 world ageing festival

Ageing Asia and Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) have joined forces to organise the largest World Ageing Festival in Singapore to celebrate International Ageing Week, 22-26 May. The vision is to encourage global knowledge exchange, cross industry collaborations and sector partnerships to help accelerate the launch of new projects and innovations.

‘Celebrating Life and Longevity’ is the theme this year to address the mindset shift of new generations of older people who aspire for health, independence and purpose.

The 14th Ageing Asia Innovation Forum (AAIF) includes the 11th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards 2023 and the Ageing Asia Innovation Exhibition that curates the world’s top 100 products that will enable successful ageing – Assistive Living, Home & Community Care, Active Ageing, Technology and Rehabilitation & Wellness.

11th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards 2023

The Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards are the first of its kind in the region. The awards are designed to recognise organisations and the teams for their innovative and quality approaches to change the way the region’s older adults age, and applaud their contribution in shaping the future of the ageing landscape.

The awards continue to recognise and honour organisations that commit to improving the quality of life, care and happiness for our elders through their innovations in business, operations and care delivery. The awards ceremony will be held in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore on 25 May 2023 as one of the many activities in conjunction with the World Ageing Festival.
