PlatformUptake.eu Networking and Brokerage Event – Supporting the Uptake of Open Platforms for Active and Healthy Ageing (AHA) and Active Assisted Living (AAL)

Tuesday, March 1st, 2022

2.00 – 5.00 pm

This event is organised by PlatformUptake.eu, a coordination and support action that focuses on the larger scale uptake of open platforms in the AHA/AAL domain. It brings together a number of projects, companies and organisations to present and discuss initiatives and experiences in this domain, and to look at what exactly an open platform ecosystem is, reasons why to use an open platform, benefits and specific use cases. The event will provide better insights to industry stakeholders (startups, SMEs and larger companies) and care organisations as to how an open platform can be beneficial for them.

Also specific PlatformUptake.eu tools and services will be presented, which allow platform providers and other stakeholders to interact and collaborate, and to evaluate the impact and performance of open platforms.
