Smart Ageing Innovation: Paving the way for the Super-aged Hong Kong from a Japanese Perspective
Abstract
In 2006, Japan was the first country to become the world’s first super-aged society (with 20% of its population aged 65 years old and above). Hong Kong has just become super-aged in 2021. The concept of smart aging has immersed into Japan’s healthcare and society, and continues to make transformation and impact to Japanese citizens’ lives. In this session, together with speakers from Shun Hing, WHILL and Lixil, we will explore the future of aging with these leading companies as their innovative foresight, philosophies and solutions do not only contribute and make a difference to the ageing society in Japan, but also to Hong Kong’s ageing population.
