Business


According to European Union’s studies, the ageing population is going to increase significantly over the next twenty years. These demographic alterations of our society have already started to raise modern challenges that require new solutions.

SHAFE oriented products and services, just like social initiatives, are part of the solutions that could make our society more age-friendly.

The successful implementation of tomorrow’s products and services in SMART, HEALTHY and/or BUILT will be ensured by those who engage in BUSINESS initiatives.

The BUSINESS training package aims to support these entrepreneurs by giving them the appropriate tools to start and develop their project in the best possible conditions.
