Early intervention products and therapeutics for healthy ageing

The UK has nearly 12 million people over the age of 55. The 85+ age group is set to double by 2041, dramatically expanding the demand for innovations to meet the needs of an ageing global society.

To address this, UK’s Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is showcasing the business and innovation opportunities that lie within the UK’s Healthy Ageing sector for Nordic and Baltic companies.

This will be a two-part activity consisting of a webinar (completed 23 November – read more under resources tab) and a company delegation to the UK. The two activities will demonstrate the healthy ageing landscape especially in the North East, Greater Manchester and Scotland.

These regions possess generous possibilities to design, test, develop and commercialise solutions for the healthy ageing sector, and have in place supportive clusters connecting investors with customers, supply chains and innovation partners.

Who should attend?

Nordic and Baltic companies interested in expansion into the UK
Nordic and Baltic companies interested in expansion beyond first UK location
Nordic and Baltic companies and research & innovation centres who would benefit from access to world leading facilities and academic expertise in diagnostics and ageing
Nordic and Baltic companies who are looking to innovate and develop products for healthy ageing or companies looking to target a growing market opportunity
