Experience

In 2003, the non-profit civil association Laboratorio de Ideas Cooperativas (Cooperative Ideas Laboratory) created EDAD.TECH as an action-research project within the field of Information and Communication Technologies for Human Development (ICT4D), seeking to address a specific problem: the exclusion of older adults in the digital society.

As social life became increasingly digitalized, new problems emerged: such as information overload, cybersecurity, planned obsolescence and digital well-being. The project changed its focus to the meaningful adoption and use of expanding technologies, now addressing more than just socio-digital inclusion.

Currently, as a Living Lab, we conduct itinerant open innovation processes aimed at improving the digital experience of all types of users. These processes involve co-creating inclusive solutions from a multi-sectoral approach that integrate scientific-academic, business and civil society perspectives.

Throughout our history, we have received sponsorships, awards, grants, mentions and signed agreements that have allowed us to expand our work.
