Milan Longevity Summit
3 April 2024
After an intense week of scientific debates, the Milan Longevity Summit, which placed Milan at the forefront of longevity and quality of life issues, has come to an end. A project created by Viviana Kasam, founder of Brain Circle Italia, which brought together 60 renowned scientists from all over the world to share their most advanced research on slowing down the biological ageing process: from recent developments in regenerative medicine to promising research on the genetics of ageing, the summit offered a comprehensive overview of the latest innovations in the field.
The ongoing demographic change requires a global and holistic response. Roundtables involving demographers, investors, start-up entrepreneurs and mayors highlighted the need for new social and economic paradigms to meet the challenges of an increasingly long-lived population.
The mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, emphasised the importance of this initiative for the city, which confirms itself as a point of reference in the field of scientific research and citizens’ well-being.
