Description

The future of aging is increasingly complex with multiple interconnected factors such as public policy, caregivers, homecare, technologies and workplaces. Systemic change in healthy and positive aging requires a range of interventions and innovations —from developing the care workforce to AI-driven smart nutrition to rewriting the aging narrative to customized personal home care support, and thoughtfully-designed inter-generational housing. As aging is complex, dynamic and multi-faceted, there is a need for a more holistic and systems investing approach, requiring a range of actors, resources and solutions such as funding ventures, developing technologies, upskilling the workforce, supporting informal caregivers, advancing policy advocacy or enabling home shares.

Join SE Health, one of Canada’s largest social enterprises and a leader in home and community-based care to explore wise questions and approaches to unlock capital and accelerate investments that drive systemic impact for positive aging. The participatory and engaging discussion for care ventures, impact investors, institutional fund managers, and wealth holders will be Illuminated by real-world place-based examples of breakthrough solutions, journeys, and opportunities in healthy aging for the next decade.
