The AAL Programme is delighted to announce its partnership with the forthcoming SilverEco & Ageing Well International Festival 2025, which takes place in Cannes, France, on 20^th-21^st of October.

AAL is partnering the SilverEco & Ageing Well International Festival 2025. This globally influential event, which brings together many hundreds of innovators, policy makers, industry leaders and trailblazers from more than 50 countries, shines a much-needed spotlight on the very latest trends and best ideas in ageing innovation.

From cutting-edge AI and smart housing, to best practice caregiving and policy solutions, the Festival captures the very best in this vital sector.

For AAL, whose mission is to support market-ready solutions that empower older adults and strengthen care ecosystems, the Festival is a natural fit. We are looking forward to being at this important meeting place for industry, research and care communities, where ideas and technologies can be discussed and demonstrated and the future path of the ageing well community can be laid out.

As the ageing demographic becomes increasingly central to Europe’s social and economic future, AAL sees SilverEco as critical to much-needed dialogue, while also delivering investment and collaboration opportunities.

By partnering with the Festival, AAL is not only showcasing its own community of innovators – it’s also opening the door for new connections, shared learning and international visibility for our broader AAL ecosystem.

Held at the iconic Palais des Festivals in Cannes, this 17th edition of the Festival offers two packed days of expert-led summits, networking, exhibitions and the SilverEco International Awards, which celebrate outstanding initiatives in longevity, healthcare, housing and smart technologies.

This year’s packed programme features six thematic summits that resonate strongly with AAL’s work:

• Living at home summit – Exploring tech and service innovations that support ageing at home.
• SilverTech and AI summit – Where AAL’s digital innovation community can shine.
• Yes we care summit – Focusing on the critical role of caregivers
• Healthy ageing summit – In alignment with the WHO’s Decade of Healthy Ageing
• Nursing homes summit – Rethinking institutional care with dignity and autonomy
• Silver citizens summit – Tackling ageism and reshaping narratives around ageing

There is also the B2B Study Tour on the 22^nd of October, which offers curated site visits to pioneering senior living facilities across the South of France, along with tailored networking and pitch opportunities.

Whether you’re a startup, care provider, policymaker, or research team, the SilverEco Festival is a great opportunity to plug into the global ageing innovation network. AAL will be there and we hope you will be too.
