The objective of the innovAGE hackathon is to encourage and promote entrepreneurial thinking to improve the lives of older Australians and their families.

This intergenerational innovation event will bring together community members, developers, designers and entrepreneurs to develop age related solutions. 

WHO IS IT FOR?

innovAGE is open to everyone and anyone!

We are looking to attract innovators & disruptors who are interested in developing the next big thing in Aged Care. 

From first year students, to developers, designers, architects, engineers, business development specialists, marketing and PR folks + anyone else that is passionate about improving outcomes for older Australians.

On the afternoon of the last day (27 Nov 2016) teams will present their solutions to be judged by an expert panel consisting of age services and technology experts.

Come along to make a difference, have some fun, learn a lot and help improve the lives of older Australians and their families.
