Senior Eco-Nect project aims to support the emergence and the development of European ecosystems dedicated to the silver and ageing economy.

The final Senior Eco-Nect Summit that will take place on the 4th of June 2024 in Brussels, stems from its capacity to foster sustained collaboration and engagement among stakeholders. By positioning the summit as a platform for ongoing dialogue and knowledge exchange, the SEN project demonstrates its commitment to long-term impact and the cultivation of a vibrant community dedicated to addressing the challenges of the ageing population and advancing the silver economy.

The theme for the hybrid event is 'Shaping Europe's Silver Future'. This theme was strategically chosen to highlight the urgent need for proactive measures and innovative solutions in response to demographic shifts. The summit aims to catalyse action towards ensuring a dignified, healthy, and inclusive future for older adults. It underscores the importance of collective efforts in driving positive societal change and economic sustainability.

We would love to see you at the event in Belgium on the 4th of June, Toerism Vlaaneren, 5th Floor, Rue du Marché aux Herbes 61, 1000 Bruxelles or, if you can't attend in person, you can join us online.
