Launch of Age Friendly Business Plan
Issue/ Opportunity: As part of the Louth Age Friendly County initiative an opportunity was identified whereby sustaining, supporting and creating jobs and new models of flexible value creating enterprise could be achieved through developing Louth as a leader in age-friendly business. The Louth Economic Forum had a vision whereby an Age-Friendly Business plan would be developed to position Louth as Ireland’s most ready, prepared and active age-friendly business county supporting business to meet the economic opportunity of people living longer and healthier lives.
