Investors, Entrepreneurs, and Innovators Meet for Networking and Deal Flow at 22nd Annual What's Next Longevity Venture Summit

Co-hosted by the AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP, the conference tackles transformative issues and investing in the $8.3 trillion longevity market

LAFAYETTE, Calif., April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Investors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders in AgeTech and the $8.3 trillion longevity market will convene for the 22nd annual What's Next Longevity Venture Summit, June 10-11 at the Claremont Resort & Club in Berkeley, Calif.

The AgeTech Collaborative from AARP is co-hosting and sponsoring the 2025 summit. The theme is Connecting Investors, Innovators, and Distribution Partners in the Longevity Market.

"It's a path to deal flow, where trends are identified, and attendees come away with insights into pressing problems in aging that AgeTech can help solve," says Mary Furlong of Mary Furlong & Associates, the conference producer and advisor to startups in the aging sector.

"The demographics tell the story," Furlong says. "The oldest boomers turn 80 in 2026, with another 20 years of older adults to follow. With new technologies, including AI, and a highly educated population, there are significant opportunities for product and service innovation, investment, and value creation. Global investors are excited about the trends and the emerging channels into this largely untapped market."

Dr. Ken Dychtwald will keynote the summit. Other thought leaders will address pivotal topics including the current status of funding and investment in longevity, the implementation of AI in the longevity market, the future of healthcare, innovations in senior living, mobility solutions, wellness and more.
