"BusinessLab’s development and maintenance of the ActiveAge website and information stream is both a regional resource in the United Kingdom and a model that others around the world are attempting to emulate."

"But ActiveAge is doing more than collecting and distributing information. It has become a valuable nexus of business, government, universities and NGOs. I can assure you there are few activities in the world that have successfully brought together the various interests."
