A Romanian startup specialising in digital services for seniors has been selected for the prestigious Orange Fab 2026 accelerator programme, alongside three other innovative companies from leading technology sectors.

TeleSenior is among the four Romanian startups that will benefit from specialist mentoring, access to the Orange 5G Lab infrastructure, and support for developing pilot projects in the coming years.

Smart solutions for elderly safety

Through its inclusion in the Orange Fab programme, the startup will gain access to Orange's telecommunications expertise and the 5G Lab infrastructure for testing solutions based on advanced connectivity, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence.

The company will also benefit from mentoring by Orange experts and support in identifying funding opportunities through research and innovation grants in the field of digital health.

Trends in elderly care technology

TeleSenior's selection reflects the growing interest in technological solutions aimed at an ageing population. According to the organisers, the selected startups address areas that are essential to digital transformation, including health and elderly care.
