Spring Forward: Successful Growth Strategies in the Longevity Economy

The third annual What’s Next Longevity Business Academy presents a masters class with discussions and presentations by experts that offer comprehensive learning for those involved in the business of the longevity economy. The purpose is to help businesses build strength and resilience by providing spring training sessions that keep entrepreneurs, investors and others doing business in the almost $9 trillion longevity economy on top of the challenges and solutions that result in optimal success

The 2022 Academy launches on April 5, kicking off six weeks of 60-minute courses every Tuesday, where attendees will gain insights and knowledge about how to thrive in the longevity market. Our virtual classroom sessions provide a VIP insider’s lens on education + action. The guest lecturers and presenters help you cross-train on winning business strategies and issues.

Topics include:

  • How to Build Your Brand 
  • Best Practices in Working With Incubators 
  • Creating a Revenue Pipeline With Senior Housing Sales
  • Finding Product/Market Fit
  • Collaborating and Creating Partnerships
  • Accessing Government Programs and Support

Who Should Attend?

Anyone working at the intersection of aging and business including:

  • Entrepreneurs and start-up company marketing staff
  • Investors (angel, seed, family office, corporate, nonprofit grantors)
  • Anyone seeking a career in the aging and longevity market
  • Students – from gerontology to business students wanting to stay on top of the latest trends, issues, challenges and solutions in the longevity market
  • Media who cover aging, longevity, age-tech, Medicare, senior living, home care and more

While the What’s Next Summit events offer the “what and who” trends in the longevity economy, the Academy sessions answer the “how” to create skills and navigate the latest opportunities for success as a longevity market entrepreneur.
