More than €50million of EU funding and £10million of UK funding is available for firms researching Assisted Living technology. Mike Biddle, the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) team leader for the Assisted Living Innovation Platform, will be at two MedilinkWM workshops to explain how firms can improve their chances to access the £10 million funding to be invested by the Technology Strategy Board, the Economic and Social Research Council and the Department of Health’s National Institute for Health Research. He'll also focus on the call from Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) for ICT-based Solutions for Advancement of Older Persons’ Independence and Participation in the “Self-Serve Society”. This European competition for funding of more than €50million, seeks proposals from firms developing innovative Assisted Living technology. This is an amazing opportunity for companies to receive free funding for their research and development, but what more can be done to help companies take advantage of these opportunities?
