Therefore the awards will reward products and services which use information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the quality of life of Europeans aged over 50 in three categories:
- Public authority
- Non-for-profit organisation
- For-profit organisation
Online submissions are open from 8 June until 15 November 2017.
