This year, Nordic Innovation House Singapore (NIH-SG) continues to build more opportunities for healthtech and medtech companies in the Nordic Health Virtual Market Entry Programme 2021 to expand their foothold in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Singapore is currently facing an increasingly ageing population, caused by increased life expectancy coupled with decreasing birth rates. In 2016, Singapore launched an action plan in 10 different areas (e.g. health & wellbeing, learning) for successful ageing with a vision of “Age confidently and lead active lives, with strong bonds with family and community.”.
Join our speaker Janice Chia, Founder & Managing Director of Ageing Asia Alliance, Singapore in this info webinar to learn more about the Ageing challenges and opportunities in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Organised by NIH-SG and its partners at the Embassy of Finland, Innovation Norway, Business Sweden, Business Iceland, and the Embassy of Denmark in Singapore. Find more information about NIH-SG Nordic Health Programme, click here: http://bit.ly/nihsg-health-deck-21

Ageing Asia is Asia Pacific’s first industry alliance on the business of ageing. We are an independent network that seeks to unite business, government, community leaders and the media, to drive change for APAC’s ageing landscape. Our vision is to lead an advocacy and educational role in improving quality and standards of eldercare, nurture partnerships and curate development of solutions that address the new opportunities and market demands of the ageing baby boomer population.
Ms Janice Chia, Founder & Managing Director
Ageing Asia Alliance, Singapore
Influenced by the changing needs of her elders, Janice was inspired to start Ageing Asia to drive and nurture opportunities and the development of innovation and solutions that address the evolving needs of the rising ageing population in the region. Having accumulated vast experience from visiting over 400 residential and aged care homes from over 15 countries since starting her practice in 2009, Janice has been actively involved in consulting organisations seeking global best practices in housing, health and care models that can be translated for the Asian market. She has also been quoted regularly in the media, such as the BBC, on Asia Pacific business trends in ageing. Janice has also launched several industry initiatives, including, ASPIRE55 Singapore – Asia’s first virtual retirement village, a wellbeing community that offers a combination of social, health and care services, but enables members to continue living in their existing homes.
