Design Enhancing quality of life for older people: Independence Matters

The Design Council and Technology Strategy Board have launched the Keeping Connected Business Challenge as part of a new programme, Independence Matters, which will demonstrate how design-led solutions can enhance independent living and quality of life for older people, with and without long term conditions.

The Keeping Connected Business Challenge is intended to stimulate the development of new business ideas that better connect older adults. The initiative has a prize fund of £495,000 to support the development of innovative service ideas over six months.
