Extending human health span and delivering healthy ageing
Around the world our populations are ageing.
By 2050 there will be more people aged 60 or over than aged 10-24 globally. Their global spending power is estimated to be worth up to $17tn USD. Those 60+ year olds are likely to be the primary carers for their 90+ parents.
Our understanding of biological ageing processes is improving and set to dramatically change how we manage the diseases of ageing. Digital advances are creating products to facilitate ageing whilst our understanding of the services needed by an ageing population are being brought front of mind. On top of that life expectancy improvements are driving a thriving market in bulk annuities and longevity swaps.
The Longevity Leaders World Congress is the definitive global meeting with the mission of extending human health span, delivering healthy ageing and financial wellness in the context of longevity. Our conference’s philosophy is aligned with the principles in the UK government’s Care Green Paper and in Prevention is Better than Cure to improve healthy life expectancy so that, by 2035, we are enjoying at least five extra years of healthy, independent life, whilst closing the gap between the richest and poorest.
The mission of the congress is to build connections between those leaders who will rise to the challenge of delivering on the enormous opportunity and promise of longevity, explore scalable solutions with social impact, and position the UK as a global Age-Tech hub.
As three-conferences-in-one, it digs deeply into each facet of the exciting developments in ‘Ageing Science’; the products, services and technologies that will enable us in ‘Ageing Well’; and the challenges and opportunities the pensions industry must address to manage ‘Longevity Risk’. All while shared plenary and networking sessions provide opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange.
Leading event sponsors and partners include Legal & General, Mercer, AARP, Engie, Vodafone, PwC and dozens of others. We also are supported by the Longevity APPG, the ILC, Care England, and the Centre for Ageing Better. Speakers feature leaders across all three tracks, including:
