The ecosystem of the international Silver Economy, including startups, renowned speakers, investors, large companies, federations, local authorities, social protection organizations, professionals in healthcare, personal services, nursing homes, and experts, gathers for 48 hours at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes for the SilverEco Well-Aging Festival.
The goal: to share best practices, discover current and future talents, celebrate international innovations, highlight startups and new technologies, and promote innovative products and services.
The SilverEco Festival is much more than just a professional event; it is a platform for exchange and discovery, where global players come together to shape the future of well-aging. Within it, innovations meet, ideas intersect, and collaborations are formed, opening new paths toward a more inclusive and dynamic future for seniors.
This event transcends geographical and sectoral boundaries, offering everyone the opportunity to contribute to the emergence of innovative solutions.
In this space of dialogue and sharing, professionals in the Silver Economy exchange more than just ideas; they collectively shape a future where the well-being of seniors is at the heart of every innovation. The Silver Eco Festival thus embodies the promise of a world where aging is synonymous with opportunities, progress, and solidarity!

- Nursing Homes Summit

This congress is dedicated to innovations, new technologies, artificial intelligence, start-up and investor meetings… - Healthy Ageing Summit
This congress is organized at the SilverEco & Ageing Well International Festival as part of the United Nations / WHO “Decade for Healthy Ageing” program
The goal of the Festival is to unite all professionals in the sector and to shine a spotlight on best practices, top initiatives, and solutions for aging well. « Changing perspectives » has been our slogan for many years, and we now add the idea of « Making it Meaningful. » Giving meaning to our actions, and through the SilverEco Trophies, which are crafted by the France Alzheimer PACA La Joïa Day Care Center in Nice. Congratulations and thanks to all the artists who created them!
Thank you to all the numerous partners of this 2025 edition, without whom none of this would be possible. A big thank you as well to the many Jury members and Experts who participated in the auditions of the SilverEco Trophies nominees with professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness. Thanks to the entire team at the Palais des Festivals, the ON-MEDIO team, and the many individuals who contributed to the realization of this major professional event.
Congratulations to all the nominated candidates. They all demonstrate that, collectively, it is possible to innovate, share best practices, and build the society in which we wish to age well and thrive together.
Don’t forget, the Silver Economy is all about you !
An excellent SilverEco Festival to you all !
