We live longer
Longevity is reshaping work, consumption, health and community life.
First edition · Latin America
Changing everything...again.
People aged 60 and over have already transformed economies, technologies and cultures. Today, they are doing it again: starting businesses, creating knowledge and building the future alongside new generations. Experience keeps changing everything.
LONGEVITY × ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE × EXPERIENCE × INTERGENERATIONAL CONNECTION
The story we are living
The years do not take us away from the future.
They give us more tools to create it.
We know more
Decades of experience become judgement, networks, leadership and problem-solving skills.
We create together
Knowledge grows through technology, artificial intelligence and collaboration across generations.
Changing everything... again
The Summit amplifies a movement already transforming Latin America.
Origins and purpose
A question became a movement.
In 2015, Luis Garza Hoth asked: what is there for older adults? That question gave rise to Entrecanos and, today, the first Silver Economy Summit.
The Summit connects generations and turns experience into proposals for businesses, governments and communities.
