Why this Challenge?

At Nestlé, we believe aging well shouldn’t be a guessing game, it should be a choice accessible to everyone. That’s why we’ve created the Smart Aging movement: a movement for all those who want to feel their best as they age through simple everyday habits that stick, starting with smarter nutrition.

We are looking for startups that can prove impact with strong science and measurable outcomes, so Nestle Vital’s Smart Aging isn’t just a promise, it’s evidence.

Our Startup Challenge
Holistic Well Being — The Smart Aging Companion Challenge

The context:
Aging the smart way is about adopting small lifestyle shifts, that overtime become healthy habits. Habits in the territories of nutrition, body and mind. Our aim is to help consumers adopt these small lifestyle shifts.
We want to create an ecosystem approach by selecting startups that integrate physical and mental well-being into a coherent “Smart Aging” program that goes beyond just our products.

What we are looking for:
Preventive health platforms, start-ups in the territories of mental wellbeing and/or physical wellbeing, start-ups around wearables to enhance mental and physical wellbeing, coaching marketplaces and holistic health scoring.  

What Nestlé Vital asks startups to deliver:
• A companion experience that makes healthy aging tangible through routines, adherence design, and measurable outcomes.
• A plan to build an open innovation community at the intersection of science, digital tech, and preventive nutrition.
