Longevity Week: Consortium Held in Berlin
This event aims to become a massive longevity platform.
Berlin’s event landscape is growing: Longevity Week will take place in the German capital for the first time from May 6-12, 2024. The opening event will take place on May 6th at the Langenbeck-Virchow-Haus in Berlin Mitte near the Charité hospital. A total of 15 events will be organised throughout the city.
Speakers include, among others, Prof. Eric Verdin, CEO of the renowned Buck Institute; Michael Greve from Kizoo Technology Capital; and Dr. Ina Czyborram, Senator for Science, Health, and Care of the State of Berlin.
Longevity Week is organised by a consortium of founders, doctors and longevity experts. The aim of Longevity Week is to broaden public understanding of the trend and its potentials, helping to establish Berlin as the capital of longevity in the medium term.
Longevity Week Berlin sets new standards as a pioneering format that unites the different areas of the growing global trend. It aims to create an open platform that provides information in the areas of nutrition and lifestyle, research & medicine and technology and takes the dialogue between stakeholders from society, business and politics to a new level. With this in mind, Longevity Week aims to become the leading platform for the longevity scene.
Longevity Week is the result of an initiative by doctor and entrepreneur Guido Axmann, healthtech investor Joachim Rautter (Peppermint Venture Partners) and the founder of cryogenics start-up Tomorrow Biosis, Dr. Emil Kendziorra. Other initiators include the physician and entrepreneur Dr. Andrea Gartenbach; Christina Hanck, founder of everlabs; as well as investor Judith Müller.
“Berlin has the potential to become a pioneering city and an important centre for longevity worldwide. The city has one of the best medical facilities in the world and is characterised by an ecosystem that promotes and generates innovation. It is therefore time to create a specific theme week that not only facilitates an intensive dialogue between the players and covers a wide range of topics, but also looks beyond national borders,” says Guido Axmann, initiator of Longevity Week Berlin.
Christina Hanck, co-initiator, adds: “Although humanity is getting older and older, more and more of us are struggling with chronic diseases in old age. With this event, we want to show that the pursuit of a healthy and longer life is not exclusive and merely an expensive hobby of tech billionaires from Silicon Valley. With Longevity Week Berlin, we are committed to making knowledge and innovations on this topic accessible to everyone and turning longevity into a lifestyle.”
