The province of Zamora stands out as one of the most highly valued in terms of Silver potential, both for the number of people included within this category and for being an attractive territory for residence. In this context, from the Provincial Council of Zamora we aim to activate all the resources that arise around the Silver Economy, with a threefold objective: providing quality care for older people, generating employment and entrepreneurship, and promoting a dynamic and sustainable economic activity that offers future opportunities for our province.

It will bring together academics, jurists, entrepreneurs, media professionals, social agents, scientists, healthcare and education professionals, entrepreneurs, and students. All of them will contribute their experience and generate a debate that will help reflect on and improve each of the fields in which they specialize.
