Purposeful Longevity

AIA welcomes you to join us at the inaugural AIA Healthcare Summit 2026

Date: 12 August 2026, Wednesday

As Singaporeans live longer than ever before, the focus is increasingly shifting from lifespan to healthspan, how we ensure these additional years are lived in good health and with quality of life?
 
Centered on the theme "Purposeful Longevity," the summit will bring together leaders across healthcare, policy and business to explore how we can collectively shape better health outcomes for a longer-living population.
Key topics will include:
  • Longevity science and geromedicine
  • Ageing well in Asia
  • Extending healthspan through preventive care
  • Sustainability of healthcare financing amid increasing longevity
  • Workplace wellbeing and the role of employers in prevention
