Eurasenior

What Eurasenior does

Eurasenior is a France-based business incubator and the first entity in Europe explicitly dedicated to the Silver Economy — i.e., products and services for aging populations. Inaugurated in October 2021 and operated by GIE Eurasanté, it is anchored at the Hôtel Deusy, a 650 m² facility in central Arras that provides offices, coworking space, meeting/event rooms, and experimentation areas. Its offering is built around structured accompaniment programs (Age-Start for early-stage project holders, Age-Incubation for more mature ventures, and the forthcoming Age-Acceleration), plus the recently announced Incubation 360° framework developed with Eurasanté. Eurasenior does not develop proprietary technology; its portfolio of roughly 20 startups (with 2025 targets of 85 new projects and 25 companies created) spans digital platforms, connected devices, AI-assisted solutions, mobility aids, and inclusive services, leveraging proximity to EHPADs and care homes for real-world testing. The business model is primarily institutional rather than commercial: funding flows from public and quasi-public partners — most notably Carsat Hauts-de-France (€150,000/year under a 2018–2022 convention), Région Hauts-de-France, Communauté Urbaine d'Arras, Crédit Agricole, Malakoff Humanis, AG2R La Mondiale, and the European Commission (Horizon Europe Senior ECO-Nect €500k and several Interreg projects). Ancillary revenue comes from coworking subscriptions, domiciliation services, and event/meeting space rentals at Hôtel Deusy, but startups are not charged core program fees. The incubator is plugged into the broader Eurasanté ecosystem (Bio-incubateur, Euralimentaire, Vivalley, Euramaterials, Transalley), Clubster NSL's 320+ member network, and the pan-European AgeingFit convention, giving portfolio companies access to investors, corporates, and research partners across Hauts-de-France and beyond.

Revenue model

1. Incubation and acceleration services: Eurasenior provides incubation and acceleration programs to startups in the Silver Economy sector. As a publicly-backed incubator anchored in the regional innovation ecosystem of Hauts-de-France, its funding derives from institutional partners (Carsat Hauts-de-France, Région Hauts-de-France, Communaté Urbaine d'Arras) and partner contributions rather than direct revenue from startups.
