AARP, The Embassy of Sweden, Tillväxtverket, Enterprise Europe Network and the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce (SACC) held a seminar on Home Care for the Future. New methods and equipment enable people to remain in their own homes and receive good care. Companies and care organizations present new methods and tools to help improve quality of life for millions of elderly or disabled people while cutting costs.
In this seminar we are going to learn more about what is going on in Sweden and in the US in this field. We are going to share views and ideas and also look at some concrete cutting edge home care solutions. Our hope is that we will help pave the way to even more Swedish-American cooperation in this important field.
