It is an age-old dream of mankind to live forever. However, if ageing is primarily associated with illness, the dream can become a nightmare. Research into longevity is focussing on extending the "healthy lifespan". A megatrend that not only opens up exciting business opportunities for many entrepreneurs and investors, but also has far-reaching consequences for our society. What if we could choose our own age and gender? How can we improve our business performance by living healthier lives? Young and old benefit from the latest findings of longevity research. Learn exciting facts from experts in computer science, neurosciences and management and be inspired by the latest developments!
