By 2030, for the first time in recorded history, the old will begin to outnumber the young. This demographic shift poses significant social, economic, and health challenges, but also presents an unprecedented opportunity for accelerating research, innovation, and entrepreneurism in the field of healthy longevity – thereby building more vibrant societies and economies worldwide.

Healthy longevity means maintaining physical, mental, and social health and well-being as we live longer. By extending the healthspan, people can stay active in their families and communities, remain in the workforce and contribute to the economy, and enjoy fulfilling and productive lives well into their later years.

The Healthy Longevity Global Competition will kickstart innovation to support healthy longevity through a series of monetary awards and prizes. In the tradition of international races to fly across the Atlantic or walk on the moon, the competition will rally the world’s greatest minds to achieve what may at first seem an impossible goal.

The Catalyst and Accelerator Phases of the Healthy Longevity Global Competition are ongoing. International Catalyst Award competitions will open in January 2023. Please browse the available competitions below for detailed information on the application period open and close dates, eligibility requirements, and other specifications. International Catalyst Award winners will be announced in early fall 2023.

Deadline: March 6, 2023
