Tiivistelmä
In Finland the number of entrepreuneurs over 55 years old has increased from 60.000 to 100.00 between 2000-2010. The growth has continued since that and now, there are 113.000 entrepreneurs in Finland who have reached the age of 55. Most of the companies in Finland are micro or SSM´s and the responsibility of entrepreneurs´ health and well-being is lies often on the shoulders of the entrepreneurs themselves. Supporting this group by giving them means more effectively to take action in preventing work- and age-related injuries and problems can help in prolonging careers.
Entrefox is a project funded by European Social Fund and it aims at promoting the health and well-being of entrepreneurs and future entrepreneurs over the age of 55 especially following the principles of active ageing and lifelong learning. Three groups of 10 entrepreneurs will be organized to create their own well-being plans and to give them means to follow the progress of their plan. Health technology will be used to help observing and motivating the process. Furthermore, students from different fields (physiotherapy, engineering and health promoting) will be included to support the entrepreneurs.
