SAge-HUB Open Call for Smart Ageing SMEs
Project Manager at Instituto Pedro Nunes
Coimbra, Portugal
About
We would like to invite startups and SMEs developing — or intending to adapt — solutions for the Smart Ageing and Digital Health sectors to explore and consider participation in the SAge-HUB Open Call.
Although the programme does not provide direct funding, it offers significant added value for SMEs through:
-
structured feedback from experts, healthcare professionals, and end-users to strengthen and improve solutions;
-
specialised support in areas such as regulatory strategy, business model development, go-to-market, and investment readiness;
-
connections with Digital Living Labs, strategic partners, investors, and potential users and buyers;
-
opportunities for internationalisation and access to European innovation and market networks.
SAge-HUB is a European project focused on developing and scaling innovative Smart Ageing solutions through an interregional network of Digital Living Labs across Romania, Greece, Portugal, Canary Islands, Finland, and Catalonia, where solutions are co-created, tested, and validated in real-world environments.
The project combines SME capacity-building, specialised mentoring, business case development, and reinforcement of interregional value chains to support market uptake and European expansion.
We would be pleased to connect during Startup Capital Summit Coimbra 2026 and explore potential collaboration and participation opportunities.
