Old School? Smart School! Vol.1 – Reinventing AgeTech
In the face of an aging population, Japan stands as a front-runner in global aging trends, often labeled as a country burdened with challenges. However, a paradigm shift is underway. The upcoming
Old School? Smart School! Vol.1 takes place on
April 23, 2026, at SivanS Lab Tokyo, aiming to redefine this narrative.
This event is not just a gathering; it’s a critical step for the
AgeTech movement, transitioning from viewing aging as a mere cost to recognizing it as a burgeoning market filled with potential. Prominent leaders and players will discuss how to leverage technology effectively and introduce innovative approaches in the field of age care.
Why AgeTech Now?
Japan is experiencing unprecedented rates of aging, leading to a pressing need for effective solutions that bridge the gap in healthcare and social support. Despite technological advancements in other countries such as Israel and the U.S., Japanese practices remain largely traditional, often relying heavily on operational frameworks. This event brings together various stakeholders to explore how AgeTech can emerge as a solution rather than a burden.
By acting as a connection point between Japan and the global AgeTech narrative, this conference aims to kickstart discussions that could transform societal challenges into thriving industries.
