The conference ‘Innovative Financing Opportunities for Active & Healthy Ageing’, organised by the European Commission on 3rd June 2015, looked at how to practically leverage public and private financial instruments and maximise synergies in the area of active & healthy ageing. In particular, the conference focused on the EU financial instruments, the Investment plan for Europe, joint-procurement of innovative solutions, new ways of public-private co-investments in health, European Structural and Investment Funds, social innovation and more recent innovative alternative financing tools.
The event showcased evidence of how the health sector can drive productive investment and in doing so stimulate economic growth.
