The UniCredit Longevity Economic Forum 2026 will bring together business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, academics and policymakers to discuss how increasing longevity is transforming the way organisations are owned, led and financed. Under the theme "Ownership, Leadership and Capital in a Longer-Life World", the Forum will explore what longer lives mean for business strategy, succession planning, capital allocation and long-term value creation across generations.
'The longevity economy is not just about living longer - it's about thriving in an extended lifespan, reshaping industries, investment strategies, and the very fabric of society.'
(Michael Spence, Speaker at the UniCredit Longevity Economic Forum 2025, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, Professor and Dean Emeritus,
Stanford Graduate School of Business, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford)
The UniCredit Longevity Economic Forum 2026 will take place on 9 November 2026 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Through keynote perspectives, executive discussions and networking opportunities, participants will gain insights into the economic implications of demographic change, the concept of Corporate Longevity, succession and ownership strategies, long-term capital allocation, and the role of innovation and artificial intelligence in a longer-life world.
'Longevity investment should encompass broader economic and social systems that empower individuals to live productive, fulfilling lives throughout their extended years.'
(Robert C. Merton, Speaker at the UniCredit Longevity Economic Forum 2025, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, Professor of Finance at MIT Sloan School of Management)
