What Gérontopôle Sud does
Gérontopôle Sud is a French non-profit association (Loi 1901) founded in 2018 and headquartered in Marseille, with regional offices in Toulon and Nice. It serves as the designated regional competence and coordination centre for healthy ageing ("bien-vieillir") in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, operating under institutional mandate from Région Sud and ARS PACA. The organization animates a multi-stakeholder network of EHPADs, residences autonomie, healthcare professionals (liberal and hospital), caregivers, Silver Economy businesses, and research institutions.
The organization's portfolio comprises six core service lines: strategic project accompaniment, territorial development, research and studies, professional training, promotion and communication, and a Social Silver Club for Silver Economy networking. It also publishes the Atlas du Vieillissement, a regional aging observatory co-produced with the Observatoire Régional de la Santé PACA. In 2026, it is piloting CARELIB, an automatic fall detection and non-return-to-bed detection solution developed with Malta Informatique, across three medico-social establishments in PACA. Marketing and outreach are executed through a website, newsletter, social media (@GerontopoleSud on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), and a dense regional event calendar including Silver Talks, Silver Economy Expo, La Marche des Aidants, and the Forum de l'Infirmière Libérale en PACA.
Gérontopôle Sud operates a non-profit revenue model funded by membership and participation fees, public institutional grants from Région Sud and ARS PACA, and project-based partnerships. No public pricing information exists. With 14 employees and a 14-employee headcount, the organization is small and infrastructure-lean, dependent on its convening role and institutional partners rather than commercial scaling.
