Longevity is a megatrend that affects all of society, from governments through to individuals and the companies that serve them. At UniCredit, we are committed to helping our clients and customers explore how these profound social and economic changes are unfolding, analysing how companies and investors can seize the opportunities they present.
Across the globe, nearly every nation is experiencing population ageing. This rise in human longevity is a success story.
'The key issue is how to promote a healthy ageing. This requires a mix of policies and long-term investment in human capital starting from the early childhood.'
(Prof. Tito Boeri, Speaker at the UniCredit Longevity Economic Forum 2025, Head of the Economics Department, Bocconi University)
Businesses and financial institutions are devising new services and products to help their customers live longer, live better, and effectively manage their wealth as they do. It is a business opportunity for companies operating in nearly every sector. Indeed, according to the UK's National Innovation Centre for Ageing (NICA), there are already two billion people over 50 years old across the world, with a combined spending power of $30 trillion.
'Population ageing is often only seen as challenge. It is but longevity also offers great opportunities for growth and wealth of our economies. We must not waste these opportunities by short-sighted policies.'
(Prof. Dr. h.c. Axel Börsch-Supan, Speaker at the UniCredit Longevity Economic Forum 2025, Ph.D.; Director emeritus, Max Planck Institute for Social Law and Social Policy)
To help our clients and customers understand and navigate the implications of increased longevity, UniCredit launched the UniCredit Longevity Economic Forum and a dedicated Longevity Knowledge Hub. The Forum brings together business leaders, investors, policymakers, academics and industry experts to discuss the economic, societal and business implications of longer lives, while the Knowledge Hub provides access to a curated collection of reports, research, studies and interviews. Together, they explore the opportunities and challenges of longevity from public policy, business, economic, investment and financial perspectives, including the upcoming UniCredit Longevity Economic Forum 2026.
