According to a UBS report from March 2025, the longevity market is expected to grow from $5.3 trillion in 2023 to $8 trillion by 2030 - surpassing even AI in projected market scale.
At the World Economic Forum's (WEF) 2026 Annual Meeting in Davos, healthy ageing and preventative health were embedded within broader discussions on workforce participation, long-term growth and fiscal sustainability, reinforcing longevity as an economic priority rather than a specialist healthcare theme. LIC exists at the centre of this shift - bringing together the capital and the science in a setting where both can move decisively.
"Longevity is no longer a fringe investment theme - it is becoming one of the defining opportunities of this decade," says Dr. Tobias Reichmuth, Co-Founder of Longevity Investors.
"What makes the Longevity Investors Conference different is the setting," adds Marc P. Bernegger, Co-Founder of Longevity Investors. "We are not building a conference - we are building the most trusted gathering in the longevity investment space, where the right people can have the conversations that actually move this field forward. Seven editions in, the demand has never been stronger and the science has never been more compelling."
"At the Longevity Investors Conference, we are bringing together the scientists making the breakthroughs and the investors with the conviction to back them. The quality of that exchange is what sets this conference apart," Dr. Reichmuth adds.

Deliberately Small. Radically Exclusive.
LIC maintains an intentional cap of 140 participants - preserving the intimacy and depth that defines every edition. With a ratio of one speaker to every four attendees, access here is real. The programme combines expert-led panels with closed-door private roundtable discussions across all three days, giving participants not just insight but direct dialogue that moves thinking forward. Every session is shaped through an investor lens - designed to translate scientific progress into investable understanding rather than academic exploration.
This year's programme goes deeper than ever. Dave Asprey and Natalie Lefevre will lead a closed-door private roundtable bringing together biohacking, human optimisation, and the capital backing it. Dr. Aubrey de Grey and Natalie Coles - who have collaborated in the field visiting the world's oldest living people - will take the stage together for a session on the science of centenarians and supercentenarians and what it reveals about the upper limits of human lifespan. A dedicated moonshot panel will tackle the questions most conferences won't touch - from embryo selection to the role of space exploration in longevity science.
