Stay ahead of the Curve - 台英創新與樂齡論壇

全球60歲以上老年人口的數量及比例都在急劇上升。在2030年前，每6個人就有一位會是60歲以上的長者，達到14億老年人口數。在台灣，超高齡社會很快就要成為現實，預估在2025年前，65歲以上的人口比例將超過20%。

這個歷史性的發展意味著我們對於創新的需求正快速增加，以因應老化社會帶來的變遷。為了讓生命後期的歲月能夠充實，並且為壽命增加質與量，我們需要一個完整的健康老化策略，及不同產業及相關機構的合作，才能將挑戰轉化為長壽經濟的機會。

本論壇將邀請政府及私部門共同參與，討論一些可實踐的健康政策及措施，例如施打疫苗、應用智慧樂齡新科技等，以達成老年人的生理健康、韌性及福祉。我們也邀請到英國國家高齡創新研究中心代表與會，分享他們具前瞻性的合作平臺與國際合作模式，如何充分發揮科技與數據的價值，為高齡化社會的需求，帶來永續、人性化的服務。

邀請您一同參與!  

<本次分享會，將以中文為主進行>

The number and proportion of people aged 60 years and older in the world population is increasing at an unprecedented pace. By 2030, 1 in 6 people will be aged 60 years or over, reaching 1.4 billion. In Taiwan, super-aged society is a soon-to-be reality where more than 20% of the population would be over 65 years old by 2025.

This historic change is dramatically expanding the demand for innovations to meet the needs of an ageing society. To maximize the late years and add quality to quantity for people, it requires a comprehensive healthy-ageing agenda and collaboration of diverse sectors and stakeholders that will transform the challenge into opportunities in a longevity economy. 

The forum will bring together leading public and private sector institutions in Taiwan to discuss health interventions from immunizations to new technologies around smart ageing that could contribute to the physical health, resilience and wellbeing of the elderly. We also invited the UK National Innovation Centre for Ageing (NICA) to share their pioneering work on how to utilize data and bring innovative technologies and services to the market, solve the unmet care and supporting needs of aging societies.
