Overview
he Ageing Asia Innovation Forum 2026 brings together global leaders, innovators, and policymakers to explore the transformative strategies shaping the future of ageing. With a focus on innovation and cross-sector collaboration, the forum delves into key themes like senior living, rehabilitation, community health, and age-tech advancements. From pioneering brain health strategies to redefining senior living and capital market opportunities, this year’s programme highlights actionable insights and scalable solutions addressing the diverse challenges of an ageing population. Discover how technology, policy, and innovation are transforming care systems and empowering societies to age with dignity, independence, and purpose.
As longevity reshapes economies and societies, the silver economy is emerging as one of the most critical growth and policy frontiers of the next decade. This segment examines how research, data, and innovation can be translated into real-world impact, driving healthier lives, sustainable care systems, and new investment opportunities across the longevity ecosystem. This discussion will explore how to align wellness, innovation, and capital to support longer, more productive lives. The focus moves beyond ideas to implementation, highlighting suitable models, investable solutions, and cross-sector partnerships that empower societies to thrive in the era of the 100-year life.
As careers lengthen and multi-stage working lives become the norm, the workforce must be reimagined for the longevity era. This session supported by Workforce Singapore (WSG) explores how redefining purpose, redesigning work models and workforce strategy, investing in continuous skills development, and embedding age-inclusive practices can unlock the potential of a five-generation workforce. Using Singapore as a living laboratory, the discussion examines how policies, employer strategies, and the careers and employment ecosystem can support career longevity, enable mature workers to continue contributing, and help organisations navigate demographic change. Speakers will share practical models for reskilling, job redesign, and inclusive talent management tailored to evolving aspirations across life stages.
