The world meeting for innovation in Ageing Well within the B2B realm is set to unfold on October 20th and 21st at the Palais des Festivals of Cannes. The SilverEco & Ageing Well International Festival encompasses six distinct events : Expo Forum, International Awards Gala Ceremony, an Educational Program featuring expert panel discussions and conferences, pre-qualified business meetings, networking lunches, and the SilverEco Study Tour.
An international market focus
The world’s population is ageing and will continue to do so in the coming years.
While we have just reached the 8 billion inhabitants on earth, the number of people aged 65 and over is increasing every year and represents already more than 10% of the population !
The rise in population is attributed, in part, to a decline in mortality rates, evidenced by the rise in life expectancy at birth. Worldwide, life expectancy reached 72.8 years in 2019, marking an almost 9-year increase since 1990. Projections suggest that continued decreases in mortality could lead to a global average longevity of approximately 77.2 years by 2050.
The proportion of the global population aged 65 years or older is anticipated to increase from 10% in 2022 to 16% in 2050. During that time, the projected number of individuals aged 65 years and above worldwide is expected to surpass twice the count of children under the age of 5 and be roughly equivalent to the number of children under the age of 12.
The challenge and the opportunities are worldwide !
The primary objective of the SilverEco & Ageing Well International Festival is to unite global professionals specializing in the field of aging for a comprehensive two-day event. This gathering facilitates the exchange of experiences, best practices, insights into inclusive aging, and the exploration of current innovations, with a keen focus on identifying future innovations.
Making it Meaningful !
This international event is THE big meeting place for the players in the field of ageing, a real market place for entrepreneurs in the sector without forgetting a strong ethical approach, which is essential. Meet your future partners, accelerate your development and obtain financing during 2 entire Days.
Focus on the International Awards
While the initiatives for the Ageing Well abound, the actors of the sector will meet again at the Palais des Festivals of Cannes on October 20 and 21, 2025, for the 17th edition of the federating event : the Great Gala Awards Ceremony, the SilverNight.
The role of the SilverEco & Ageing Well International Awards is to reward the best initiatives, but also the best services, products, and best practices at the service of seniors for a successful demographic transition.
