About the event

Are you developing products and services to help people live healthier lives? We have teamed up with Aging2.0 and International Longevity Centre (ILC) to bring you this on-line event which connects innovators, researchers, and entrepreneurs with the latest insights into local and national health data, including the newly launched UK Better Lives Index.

The UK Better Lives Index is a major new ILC project exploring how well different areas across the UK support their populations to live longer, better lives. It identifies the best and worst groups of places to be born, grow up and grow old in, and outlines what needs to happen now to deliver better lives for all people and places.

Learn how to use these insights and other data sources, to better serve communities, respond to market needs, and shape the future of healthy ageing.

Whether you’re refining your strategy, building investor-ready plans, or seeking to boost your competitive edge, this session will help you find where the gaps lie in terms of health, wellbeing, and financial inclusion in the UK, helping you apply your solution to where it’s needed most.
