Longevity Event - Plug and Play France
Plug and Play France is hosting its first Longevity morning in Paris on October 22, an invitation-only morning bringing together startups, investors and corporates (food & nutrition, beauty, insurance...) building the future of human healthspan.
Longevity innovation runs on data: biomarkers, wearables, biological age clocks, AI-driven discovery. We'll look at what comes after the data: who owns it, who gets to act on it, and what products it's already turning into.
The morning features selected startups turning biological data into prevention tools, new ingredients and new treatments, a panel discussion with corporates, startups and investors, and a networking breakfast.
Join us to connect with peers and innovators shaping the future of longevity.
