OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS | 2024 Healthy Aging Prize for Asian Innovation

The Healthy Aging Prize for Asian Innovation (HAPI) is now accepting applications for the 2024 prize.

The award program was established in 2020 by JCIE and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), under the auspices of the Government of Japan’s Asia Health and Wellbeing Initiative (AHWIN). Now in its fourth round, HAPI is an international award that recognizes and amplifies initiatives from throughout East Asia that contribute to the achievement of healthy longevity and the improvement of elderly care in the region.

This award is given to recognize and amplify innovative programs, services, products, policies, and other initiatives from Asian countries that address the wide array of challenges facing aging populations. 

Applicants can be local governments, civic groups, businesses, educational and research institutions, and others that offer good examples that can be introduced to other Asian countries. They must be located in an ASEAN member country or in Japan, China (including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan), or South Korea. 

HAPI recognizes innovations that fall under one of the following three categories:
TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION
COMMUNITY-BASED INITIATIVES
SUPPORTING SELF-RELIANCE

Applications for the prize will be accepted from February 28–May 31, 2024. 

This year, information and applications are available in 10 languages!
