E2: National Innovation Models & Clusters |
|
Session Rationale |
The Danish model of innovation in the field of AAL is a diversity of initiatives that take place simultaneously on a national, regional and local level. Two major public-private partnerships, “LEV VEL” and “UNIK” focus on promoting cooperation, exchange of knowledge and joint projects between companies and researchers related to independent living of elderly people and chronic patients; the partnerships are backed financially by the Danish government. Regionally, Southern Denmark has launched itself as a Welfare Tech Region with a strong commitment to public-private innovation and industrial development in the field of AAL. Nationally, the PWT Foundation – Investments in Public Welfare Technology – has dedicated 400 million Euros to modernizing the Danish public sector through the use of new technology, new partnerships and new ways of working. The session will present the Danish policy setting and two particular partnership-based cluster initiatives, as well as an important related international initiative at the Baltic level. It will discuss the merits of the underlying approaches to innovation, seen in a multi-level regional, national and international context and from both public and commercial perspectives. |

E3: Northern European AAL projects and business cases |
|
Session Rationale |
The four Northern European AAL projects of this session have a special focus on preventing social isolation as well as supporting elderly people in living in their own homes for as long as possible. The projects are finding new ways towards holistic service concepts for better living environments, including social interaction. While adopting different means for obtaining their aims – including the use of web-based services, systematized social networks, technical aid systems, monitoring etc. – they share a dual potential for improving life quality and creating new markets. The experience and results of the four projects will be presented and discussed. |

Session Rationale |
The demographic challenges faced by modern societies creates an urgent need for innovation in the field of AAL. This session presents different aspects of innovation, highlighting the importance of the public sector as an end user and the value of a user-driven approach. The role of public procurement in stimulating innovation is discussed both from academic and practical perspectives. One of the more recently developed methods is presented: that of pre-commercial procurement where the final product or service is delivered only after certain research and development activities have been carried out. Second, the role of user-driven innovation in the field of AAL is discussed, both from methodological and practical perspectives. Methods and cases from the area of elder care and health will be presented |
