The Longevity Leap: Designing the Silver Economy for Thriving at Every Age

​Session Partner

​If the longevity revolution is the most predictable economic transformation of our time – why are we still treating aging as a liability, instead of designing for it as a launchpad for regeneration?

​The world is aging. By 2050, more than 2 billion people will be over 60. This demographic shift is often framed as a crisis—but what if it is one of our greatest innovation opportunities?

​The silver economy – spanning healthcare, housing, employment, technology, finance, and social services – represents a multi-trillion-dollar market. But to unlock its full potential, we must shift from transactional solutions to systems that empower older adults as producers of value, not passive recipients of care.

​This panel explores how we can architect an age-integrated economy: how AI, digital health, inclusive design, and community-based innovation can converge to build a regenerative model for living and working longer – with dignity, purpose, and wellbeing.

​It is not about adding years to life – it’s about designing ecosystems where those years matter.

​Join this dialogue to reflect on how your sector can move beyond policies and products to unlock the social, economic, and innovative power of the silver generation.
