Accelerating the Home Care Innovation Ecosystem of the Future

As the ageing population places growing demands on healthcare systems in the North Sea region, a new European initiative has emerged to alleviate the burden. The ACE project is pioneering a future where older adults can live safer, independent lives, by accelerating the use of digital solutions for better future homecare. 

At its core, ACE envisions a future with quality homecare across the North Sea Region. The project’s transnational and multidisciplinary consortium of 14 partner organisations from six European countries – Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, France & Germany – will actively prepare formal and informal healthcare providers for the digital homecare solutions of the future. The project will connect solution providers with networks essential to making an impact and, ultimately, ensure that the end users of these solutions remain independent and healthy in their own homes. 

RISE's role is to be the project manager, communications manager and drive activities within the project.

ACE will manage a digital community of hundreds of stakeholders, upscale over thirty innovations that directly address care user needs and adapt 150+ North Sea region homecare providers to these innovations. While ACE recognises that one initiative alone cannot overhaul the homecare system, it is making significant strides in uniting all essential players. 

Co-funded by the Interreg North Sea Programme between 2023 and 2026, ACE welcomes senior citizens, care providers, NGOs, researchers, and digital solution providers to get involved in the project through events and online discussions, and be pioneers of this rapidly evolving homecare system.
