SENIORENGAGE


Virtual Network to Empower the Integration of Seniors into an Active Community in the Post Retirement Years

Description

While there are countless online social
networks focused on target markets of
people under the age of 50, there are
currently no European online gathering
places dedicated to seniors. SENIORENGAGE
provides a practical networking
site aimed to eliminating social exclusion,
sustaining mental ability and facilitate
intergenerational learning.
The project aims to strengthen the social
structure of older retired and semi-retired
professionals by allowing them
to continue to actively participate in
community and contribute knowledge
regardless of health conditions or physical
impediments. The application innovation
lies in the fact that this is the first
European attempt at such an ambitious
goal.
Time to market is approximately
9 months after the project end, and we
foresee no barriers to entry other than
the ability to reach a critical mass of
users in the first year of exploitation.
