2025 AGE-WELL National Impact Challenge

Are you part of a start-up or small business working on a technology-based solution to support older adults and/or caregivers?

Is your innovation ready for real-world implementation in a setting that serves older adults? Have you partnered with an organization interested in integrating your solution to improve the health, quality of life, or work for older adults or caregivers—or are you selling directly to older adults, with a strong plan for adoption?

The AGE-WELL National Impact Challenge is back in 2025! One of the country’s most exciting start-up competitions, this event recognizes Canadian startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) improving the lives of older adults and caregivers. Applicants will submit an online application and an engaging 2-minute video pitch. Selected finalists will be invited to take the stage at AGE-WELL’s 10th Annual Conference, pitching live to a panel of expert judges.

Application deadline: August 14, 2025 at 11:59 pm EST.
