Tokyo Longevity Summit

Just wrapped up the Tokyo Longevity Summit - what an incredible experience! 🇯🇵🧬🌟 With 200 attendees from diverse backgrounds, the summit was a melting pot of ideas and expertise. 🧠💡 We saw strong representation from VC, public organisations, biotech, pharma, and wellness sectors. What truly set this event apart was the exciting mix of curious minds from unexpected fields, discussing how to impact ageing. It was inspiring to see such a varied group come together to explore the future of longevity. 💭 Key takeaways: 1. 🏛️🔬 Longevity policy, a new frontier merging science and societal change, challenges traditional political thinking. It demands a practical yet technical approach, prompting debate on its necessity in shaping our future. 2. 💸🏥 Ageing has us on track to insolvency. For example, in the U.S., the share of public healthcare spending in GDP has increased by 150% in 50 years. 3. 🌱💪 Well-being capital transforms society by revolutionising healthcare systems, focusing on prevention and personalisation, while also stimulating economic growth in health-related industries. This shift necessitates redesigning social systems, including education, urban planning, and social security, to accommodate longer, healthier lifespans. Looking forward to seeing how these connections and insights will shape the Japanese longevity landscape in the coming years. 🚀 Were you at the summit? What were your biggest learnings?
