AAL EXHIBITORS 2018

Who’s exhibiting at the AAL Forum exhibition…so far?

As the days are ticking by with less than a month until the 2018 AAL Forum gets underway, we are starting to take a look at some of the exhibitors already getting ready to meet, greet and share with you their expertise, product, project or experience in the field of healthy ageing.

Every year the AAL Forum is excited to host the AAL Exhibition, where specific AAL projects can present their research, technological advances or even allow delegates hands-on demonstrations with their final products. The exhibition hall is also open to any businesses, industry experts or investors in the field that are interested in discovering what the AAL ecosystem has to offer or seeing how they can positively input themselves. The exhibition hall is a great place for exhibitors and delegates alike to gain face-to-face networking opportunities in a relaxed, fun environment.

Take a look at the exhibitors already confirmed for this year’s forum – and why not think about getting involved in the forum yourself:
