Singapore to Host 2025 Founders Longevity Forum: Experts Unite for Healthy Aging Innovations
January 6, 2025
The Founders Longevity Forum Singapore is set to take place in February 2025, bringing together experts from science, healthcare, and investment sectors to discuss advancements in healthy aging and longevity.
This event will focus on innovative solutions for longevity, highlighting the increasing awareness and traction in longevity-focused therapies and lifestyle approaches.
Investment interest in the longevity sector is on the rise, with new investors entering the field despite previous challenges in funding deployment.
Petr Šrámek, Cofounder and Chairman of LongevityTech.Fund, anticipates a favorable financial cycle for IPOs in the coming years, which could further benefit the longevity sector.
However, Šrámek notes a gap in understanding good opportunities in longevity investments, particularly among traditional biotech investors.
Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly establishing departments focused on acquiring longevity assets, indicating a growing interest from big pharma.
Modern longevity clinics are prioritizing prevention over early diagnostics, aiming to improve health biomarkers for better health outcomes.
Šrámek expects that while initial availability of therapies may be offshore, there are plans to facilitate onshore treatments through clinical trials.
His clinic aims to actively translate longevity therapeutics into market solutions, with a strong emphasis on obtaining regulatory approvals for these therapies.
Šrámek highlights the need for more progressive research aimed at significantly slowing down or reversing aging, referencing initiatives like the XPRIZE HealthSpan.
Overall, there is a growing recognition of the potential in longevity-focused therapies, which could lead to transformative changes in health and aging.
