We’re experiencing a revolution in aging, thanks to new innovations, technology and breakthroughs in aging science and medicine that are extending lives and improving the health of older people.

An ever-growing number of the world’s brightest, boldest, most forward-looking economists, scholars, scientists, innovators, disruptors and entrepreneurs have recognized the enormous potential these advances in the technology of aging represent. Not only for significantly extending lifespans, but for how it can — and will — create jobs and stimulate economic growth. 

Are we taking the aging revolution seriously enough to compete in it, let alone lead it? 

On October 5th, 2021 at AgeTech Innovation Week, YouAreUNLTD hosted Oh Canada! AgeTech, the Longevity Economy and Our Place on the Global Stage. 

As a thought-leader in the longevity economy, YouAreUNLTD guided an important discussion with global experts on the role Canada could play in the emerging Longevity Economy, and how we can leverage our successes in AgeTech to drive economic growth across a vast global ecosystem. 
Joining us on the panel included Alex Mihailidis, Scientific Director & CEO, AGE-WELL, Tina Woods, CEO, Collider Health, Kate Batz, Managing Partner, Longevity Capital and Franco Cortese, Director, Aging Analytics Agency.
