Final International Conference of the Silver Entrepreneurs Project
A Milestone Event Celebrating Active Aging, Innovation, and Cross-Border Collaboration
We are excited to share that the final international conference of the Silver Entrepreneurs project recently took place, marking an important milestone in our shared journey of promoting senior entrepreneurship across Europe.
The event brought together project partners and senior participants from Latvia, Finland, and Sweden, creating a vibrant space for learning, reflection, and future inspiration. Hosted in a spirit of cooperation and celebration, the conference served as both a closing chapter and a launchpad for continued engagement with the themes of active aging, social inclusion, and lifelong learning.
About the Project
Silver Entrepreneurs is a transnational initiative aimed at empowering people aged 50+ to explore and develop entrepreneurial ideas. Through tailored training, mentorship, peer exchange, and practical support, the project enabled dozens of seniors to gain new skills, build confidence, and even test out their business concepts in a supportive international environment.
Final Conference Highlights
During the event, participants had the opportunity to:
- Share key achievements and lessons learned throughout the project lifespan
- Present individual and group entrepreneurship stories, highlighting the diverse potential of older adults
- Engage in interactive workshops and panel discussions on sustainability, digital tools, and age-friendly business environments
- Strengthen international partnerships and plan for future initiatives building on the project’s success
Voices from the Conference
Several seniors shared their inspiring journeys—from crafting handmade goods to launching consulting services, each story reflecting creativity, resilience, and the importance of having support at any stage of life.
Participants also emphasized how deeply meaningful it was to reconnect in person after months of remote collaboration, creating space for new friendships and professional networks across borders.
Reflections and Thanks
We feel immense gratitude for everything that has been achieved — not only in terms of project outcomes, but in the strong human connections that have been formed. The final conference was a testament to what’s possible when we trust in the potential of every generation.
A warm thank you to all partners, trainers, facilitators, and most importantly — the seniors — who brought their passion, knowledge, and dreams to this project.
