CAF Seeks Startups to Advance Financial Inclusion in the Silver Economy

CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean – has launched the call for applications for the 2026 CAF Financial Inclusion Lab (LIF). In its eighth edition, the initiative is seeking digital solutions capable of addressing the challenges and opportunities arising from demographic change in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The 2026 LIF focuses on the silver economy, seeking solutions that promote greater financial inclusion, financial and digital literacy, and financial well-being for people aged 50 and over, as well as proposals that help people prepare for longer lives at different stages of the life cycle. The call for applications will remain open until 18 October, 2026, and is open to legally incorporated companies operating in at least one CAF member country and with technology solutions that are already in active use.
