November 23, 2023 - Surrey Leadership Series: Opportunities of the Longevity (Senior) Economy
But despite Canada's ranking as the sixth-largest investor in longevity advancements globally, our longevity sector remains a well-kept secret, which prompts the question: Are we taking the aging revolution seriously enough to compete in it, let alone lead it?
We're experiencing a revolution in aging, thanks to 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.
A longevity economy will see a shift in the mix of economic industries, with both health and education expanding further and new financial products. Such an economy has the potential to contribute to growth in gross domestic product through employment and human capital.
