About the conference
The Longevity Investors Conference gathers together a selected audience of the most prominent investors in the field.
The main aim of the events is to bring together academia and business to discuss the latest trends, and opportunities and to provide relevant insights into the longevity and rejuvenation subject.
The two full days conference is bringing together the world’s top longevity KOLs, institutional and private investors, wealthy private investors, family offices, and funds.
What is Longevity?
Longevity is the science of anti-aging research and rejuvenation.
It has experienced an unprecedented advance over recent years, particularly with the discovery that the rate of aging is controlled, at least to some extent, by genetic pathways and biochemical processes.
Longevity identifies both lifestyle and pharmaceutical targets to improve the human health-span (i.e.the time we can live without any negative impact from aging.)
Longevity will be one of the largest, if not the largest, investment opportunity in the decades to come.
