Japan has strived to discover and support venture and other businesses that would contribute to solving problems in the field of healthcare in Japan, such as through holding the Japan Healthcare Business Contest.
In addition to existing efforts, Japan will hold the 1st Well Aging Society Summit Asia-Japan as an international conference for facilitating business partnering. This summit aims to introduce excellent services being offered by those ventures in and outside of Japan and inducing investment in healthcare businesses in Japan and overseas by diverse investors and companies worldwide. At this summit, keynote lectures by intellectuals and panel discussions are scheduled, and a pitch contest will be held among Japanese and foreign ventures that have passed the screening. Additionally, a business matching event for ventures to find partners in conducting business in this field in Japan and overseas by inviting diverse companies and investors will also be held.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) hopes that further development of unique and effective products/services in the healthcare industry here in Japan, which is facing rapid population aging, will contribute to the extension of healthy life expectancy not only for Japan but also for the rest of the world.
Belguim local governments are more and more using open data to provide public services to their citizens. However, they lack tools on how to involve citizens, especially older citizens, in the design, planning, implementation and evaluation of these initiatives in order to make them address citizens’ needs and expectations in their daily life.
The final conference of the project provides an opportunity to learn about the tools and discuss our lessons learnt and policy briefings in order to help other cities and regions to benefit from them.
You may already register here | Deadline: 30 September 2018
We are looking forward to seeing you in October!
Please note that the event is free of charge.

Life expectancy in the Nordic region is increasing and the proportion of elderly is growing rapidly. Even though this is a positive development, it poses major challenges. Especially in the fields of housing, transportation, urban planning, health care and social services. It is important to create environments that accommodate senior citizens and allow them to continue to experience quality of life as they get older.
How do we create these age-friendly communities? Many municipalities in the Nordic region are working ambitiously to become a better place to grow older in. Seven Nordic cities have joined the WHO network Age-friendly cities and communities. Some of these cities are described in a Nordic Welfare publication called A better environment to age in – working towards age-friendly cities in the Nordic region (2018). The cities in this network are committed to work within several areas and with a long-term perspective to involve the elderly to participate in this development.
Inclusive community planning must be based on human diversity and also contribute to sustainable development. A universally designed society is thus an investment.
This is the first major conference in the Nordic region focusing on age-friendly cities. The aim of the conference is to pave the way for establishing a strong Nordic network that can work with these issues in the years to come.
Experts, politicians, researchers and representatives from pensioners’ organisations in the Nordic countries are included in the program of this conference. The speakers will inspire by presenting their ideas for changes and improvements.
The conference is arranged in the Stockholm area on the 15-16th of October 2018 and the target group is politicians, decision-makers and civil servants at both national and local level as well as organisations from the Nordic countries, Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland.
The conference is arranged by the Nordic Welfare Centre on behalf of the Nordic Council of Ministers and in close cooperation with the Swedish Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers.
Conference venue
The conference will take place at Radisson Blu Royal Park Hotel, situated in Solna just outside the city center of Stockholm, Sweden.

The numbers speak for themselves: we are moving towards an ageing society with a strong representation in the highest age ranges. This needs to be addressed. The way we age is now a motive of reflection and concern among various scientific and professional fields. Whether it’s Medicine, Cosmetics, Sports, Leisure, Economics or Politics, there are no unaffected areas when we speak about structural implications of this natural phenomenon and it’s social outcomes. Talking about the richness and complexity of the contemporary ageing is the main goal of this conference.
In two days of multidisciplinary programming, we’ll cross perspectives from several fields. From Geriatrics to Sociology, Law, Psychology, Sports, Nutritions, Religions, among many others, believing that the articulation of their contributes and experiences may enhance the knowledge about a cross and timeless interest.
Based on some relevant and current discussion topics, Let’s Talk About Ageing is Multidisciplinary Scientific Congress and also an informal meeting to cross scientific and professional knowledge with daily experiences, and will certainly be an enriching moment for researchers, professionals and everyone interested in this area.
Conference Proceedings & Abstract Book will be published after the congress.
