AGETECHX 2026
Europe is being redesigned. The question is who's doing it.
By 2050, one in three Europeans will be over 60. Birth rates are at historic lows. Longevity is extending lives faster than the systems built to support them can adapt. Health, care, housing, finance, work — every major industry is being forced to rethink itself from the ground up.
AgeTechX 2026 is the forum where that rethinking happens.
Berlin. 5–6 October 2026.
This is not a trade show. It is a curated two-day gathering of founders, investors, care operators, corporates, policymakers, and researchers who are actively building the future of ageing in Europe and beyond. The people in the room are not watching the shift happen — they are deciding its shape.
The programme:
Opening Ceremony — Monday, 5 October An intimate evening designed for honest conversation and lasting connections among senior leaders. No panels. No pitches. Just the right people in the right room.
The AgeTechX Forum — Tuesday, 6 October A full day of talks, deep-dive panels, and structured discussions on the most consequential challenges and opportunities created by demographic change: longevity biotech, care infrastructure, the silver economy, robotics and AI in ageing, and more.
Closing Reception — Tuesday evening The conversations that start in the morning rarely end at dinner.
Confirmed speakers include:
Hannah Payette Peterson — Scientist at JUNI (Berlin). Researcher applying science to the biology of aging.
Abby Levy — Managing Partner and Founder of Primetime Partners (New York). Venture fund dedicated to the longevity economy, with a portfolio spanning health, finance, and caregiving.

AgeTechX is invite-only and intentionally small. Every seat matters. If you are serious about what comes next in ageing, this is where you need to be.
