The Longevity Forum
Oman 2020
Unfortunately, The Longevity Forum Oman has been postponed.
We will update the webpage with further information in due course.
The Longevity Forum has partnered with IDO Investments to bring leaders in the longevity field from around the world to present recent breakthroughs and discuss the science, social impact and economics of an ageing population. The Oman Forum is expecting to host lively discussions of the ever-expanding boundaries of science and technology; the economic opportunities presented by longevity and the implications for governments and individuals; the policy agenda supporting our educational, healthcare and social care systems to ensure that they are fit for the future.
The Longevity Forum is an important platform for dialogue between all the different stakeholders – government, businesses and the scientific community – around the impact of longer lives on society. While many initiatives in this space focus on tackling end of life issues, we believe that to reap the longevity dividends, awareness and change needs to start from early life and through each stage of life. Oman, which has seen strong population growth in recent years and in their efforts to create a regional hub for longevity, is the ideal place for the first Longevity Forum outside London.
The Longevity Forum Oman will take place on the 10th February 2020 in Muscat and is by invitation only.
