Co-Aging Salon #04 @ BEYDES
We warmly invite you to the fourth Co-Aging Salon at the BEYDES Creator House in Berlin-Tegel. This time, we will look at how products, spaces, services, communication, and digital tools need to be designed as our society grows older.
Robert Eysoldt, founder of Age Bombs, will open the evening with a short impulse: Longer lives need better design. Not for “the elderly,” but as a design challenge for a society that is aging as a whole.
After that, we will hear two sharp perspectives from the field.
Eric Eitel, Chief Creative Officer at German Bionic, will talk about AgeTech and why not everything that is technically possible actually helps. Drawing from his work with robotic exoskeletons, he will show how technology needs to be designed to build trust, support the body and expand people’s room to act.
Matthias Mafenbeier, co-founder of RentenNavi, will ask: Who are we building new technologies for? Using retirement as an example, he will show how quickly digital processes can become a burden when they simply pass complexity on to the user. His impulse will make visible how technology can truly support people in decisive moments of life.
Afterwards, there will be time for exchange, questions and conversations over drinks.
Co-Aging @ BEYDES is a program by Age Bombs and BEYDES. Together, we explore what living, working and participation can look like when life realities are no longer sorted by age logic.
