Giving a Home for AgeTech Worldwide

Kedem Association is a non-profit network uniting over 230 senior-living communities across Israel—including independent living, assisted living and geriatric facilities. We serve as a national knowledge centre on ageing, policy and service innovation, connecting technology providers with real-world settings.

About

Market Opportunity: In 2024, the global care-and-age-tech market was valued at $1.94 trillion and is projected to reach $3.29 trillion by 2032, driven by rapidly ageing populations worldwide.

Pilot Network at Scale: Few organisations can match Kedem’s ability to run proofs-of-concept (POCs) in hundreds of live environments, serving diverse elderly populations across Israel.

Holistic Support: Beyond pilot execution, startups gain access to expert mentoring on regulation, user-experience design, reimbursement pathways and local market insights.

Global Pathway: Thanks to existing alliances in Japan, the USA and Europe, solutions validated in Israel can naturally expand into other ageing-focused markets, with help navigating local regulations and user needs.

Community Impact: Technology for older adults often comes with social benefits—reducing loneliness, improving health outcomes, fostering independence and enhancing quality of life. Kedem ensures your innovation makes a real difference.

Why Join Our Accelerator
The Kedem Innovation Hub Model

1. Real-World Validation at Scale

• Test and iterate with thousands of older adults across varied living arrangements.

• Collect rich data on usability, clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness.

2. End-to-End Ecosystem

• From pilot implementation to user-experience design and regulatory advice—everything happens under one roof.

• Leverage Kedem’s relationships with care-home operators, clinicians, insurers and government stakeholders.

3. Cross-Border Opportunities

• Once you prove traction in Israel, we fast-track introductions to Japanese, American and European partners for secondary pilots.

• Access local expertise to adapt your solution to language, culture and reimbursement models.

4. Mission-Driven Community

• Be part of a collaborative network that places older-adult well-being at the core.

• Join conferences, hackathons and workshops that connect you with peers and experts in AgeTech globally.
