In the framework of the 2014 International Day of Older Persons the Vienna NGO Committee on Ageing, under the auspices of its vice-president and member of SiforAGE Dirk Jarré, organized a special event on the topic: ”Social Innovation Solutions and Technology for Active and Healthy Ageing”. Louise Pierrel Mikkelsen, from Investornet and also a member of SIforAGE, was invited as guest speaker in order to share her wide expertise in the field.

As pointed out by Gertraud Dayé, Chair of Vienna NGO Committee on Ageing: "Our members were unanimous in their conviction that better understanding of new technologies as well as having a voice in the development of products and services is of utmost importance to reach full integration of the older age groups into society". 

Mikkelsen’s talk and the overall event raised a very lively discussion and produced a set of recommendations concerning the production and usability of new technologies that you can find in the following link.
