According to the United Nations, the number of people aged 60 and over is expected to double by 2050, reaching 2.1 billion globally. This trend presents significant economic and social challenges.

One aspect of the silver economy is the development of "silver technologies" - products, services, and solutions designed to help older adults age well. These technologies can address a range of needs and challenges including health, mobility, communication, home automation, and socialization.

One area of rapid development in silver technologies is healthcare and medical devices. With the aging of populations comes an increased demand for medical services and assisted living technologies. Remote health monitoring and telemedicine services are becoming more common, allowing older adults to receive medical care and support in their homes more easily.

Another area of growth is in mobility assistance technologies which help older adults maintain their independence and mobility. Smart home automation and safety devices can make daily living easier and safer for seniors.

In addition, silver technologies can also facilitate socialization and connection. Social media and communication platforms are increasingly used by seniors to stay in touch with family and friends, and virtual reality and gaming technologies are being developed to provide seniors with social and entertainment options.

The market for silver technologies is projected to reach trillions of dollars in the coming decades, presenting significant opportunities for investment and growth.

However, there are also challenges associated with the silver economy and silver technologies. One challenge is ensuring that these technologies are accessible and affordable to seniors from all socioeconomic backgrounds. Another challenge is ensuring that these technologies are developed with the input and needs of older adults in mind, to ensure that they are effective and user-friendly.

The silver economy and silver technologies are rapidly evolving fields with significant potential economic and social benefits. These technologies can help older adults age well, maintain their independence, and stay connected with their communities. The development of silver technologies presents significant opportunities for innovation and investment, but also requires careful consideration of accessibility and user needs.

I read in the news that an emerging VC raised $30m to invest in silver tech startups.

ITW Hélène Plihon - Geochemist, PhD Candidate

Did you know Brazilian mangroves can absorb up to 4 times more carbon than Amazonian forest trees?

Hélène Plihon is a geochemist and PhD candidate who is a member of the laboratory "Marine Environmental Chemistry" led by Dr. Stéphane Mounier at the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography of Marseille.

Hélène's research focuses on mangroves, with a particular interest in the spatial contamination of mangroves and carbon storage in Ceará, Brazil.

Mangroves are vital ecosystems that provide numerous benefits to local communities and the wider world. They are known to sequester large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, mangroves are also under threat from various sources of contamination, including industrial and agricultural pollution.

By studying mangroves in Ceará, Brazil, Hélène is shedding new light on the spatial distribution of contaminants in this important ecosystem. Her research uses a range of analytical techniques to identify and quantify various pollutants in the environment, and to understand how they interact with different components of the ecosystem.

Overall, Hélène's work is crucially important for informing policies and practices aimed at protecting mangroves and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Her research highlights the need for continued efforts to monitor and address pollution in mangrove ecosystems and the value of understanding.

In this new episode, discover Hélène's research and how we can raise awareness of the importance of mangroves.
