Osiris Silver Economy

Formålet med Osiris-projektet er:

• at styrke den velfærdsteknologiske udvikling i de deltagende lande og regioner Finland, Estland, Letland, Lithauen, Rusland og Danmark
• at styrke samarbejdet på tværs af grænserne

Der ønskes en styrkelse af området for at imødegå den demografiske udvikling og potentielle mangel på medarbejdere til sundhedssektoren.

Center for Frihedsteknologi, Aarhus Kommune, og VIA University College deltager i Osiris-samarbejdet sammen med en række offentlige institutioner, virksomheder og uddannelsesinstitutioner i de nævnte lande.

Center for Frihedsteknologi og VIA har lavet en markedsanalyse, der beskriver udfordringerne således:

Surroundings – developments and challenges

In Denmark, as well as in many other parts of the world, the average age of the population is on the rise. This can lead to a smaller workforce and more people needing healthcare services, which may cause a potential significant shortage of healthcare workers. Several respondents in our study mention this complexity as a significant challenge that both caregivers, technology, authorities and citizens face. This market analysis primarily focuses on the ways in which more assisted living technology solutions with the right quality can be used as a benefit to citizens. It does so based on the notion that technology has the possibility to enhance quality and safety for the care and the caregivers, and that it can help minimize the serious consequences that arise from a significant shortage of healthcare workers.

The Region of Central Denmark particularly focused on Smart Industry and Growth Drivers, and it is emphasized that Smart Industry is a position of strength in the region. The Region of Central Denmark thus recommends that companies continue the effort to further improve on digitization, automation etc. in order to ensure continued growth. In Denmark, there are relatively few growth companies, which is a problem caused by limited access to venture capital and a general lack of entrepreneurial competences. Additionally, a shortage of human resources challenges companies and their growth.
