This short self-assessment tool will provide you with an overview of how prepared your company to innovate nutrient-enriched food products and services for seniors. It is developed as part of the Innovating Food for Seniors Project funded by the European Commission.

- Customer – your company’s understanding of seniors’ specific needs and ability to commercialise food products/services
- Environment – your company’s understanding of the policies, regulations, and market needs that help you better respond to the growing demands of marketing nutrient-enriched food products and services for seniors.
