Democratizing Longevity: Founders Turning Innovation into Access (public, in-person event)
A conversation on mental fitness, longevity, and the science (and craft) of breathing.
Longevity is no longer a luxury — it’s becoming a collective opportunity.
In this event, we bring together two founders who are reshaping how people access health, wellbeing, and longevity in their daily lives.
From 59Breaths, a breathing app designed to help people regulate stress, improve mental clarity, and build sustainable daily resilience, to B-Life, a precision medicine clinic pioneering new approaches to preventive and longevity-focused healthcare, these founders are building practical solutions that bring longevity out of labs and clinics and into everyday life.
Both speakers are international builders who chose Portugal as the place to develop and scale their work. During the conversation, we’ll explore their personal and professional journeys — what led them to work in longevity, why Portugal is becoming an interesting place to build health innovation, and why community-driven approaches are essential to making longer, healthier lives more accessible.
This is a conversation about founder mindset, preventative health innovation, and making longevity real, practical, and inclusive.
