2060 Foundation President Gabriel Cian on building a global ecosystem where science, capital and lifestyle merge to redefine healthy aging.
In a world awakening to the promise of longer, healthier lives, a new kind of summit is emerging – one that merges deep science, visionary investing and an immersive lifestyle experience. Hosted in the cultural heart of the South of France, the 2060 Longevity Forum is set to take place August 30–31, 2025, in Aix-en-Provence, and promises to redefine how we approach aging, wellness and capital allocation.
Created by the 2060 Foundation, the Forum is part of a larger mission: to create a world in which extending healthy human lifespan is not just possible, but investable, actionable and aspirational.
Where science meets strategy
Longevity is fast becoming more than a scientific ambition – it’s a strategic imperative for investors and innovators alike. With human lifespans steadily increasing and biological aging proving to be modifiable, the sector is drawing attention from a growing spectrum of capital allocators. The antiaging market is projected to surpass $367 billion by 2032, and the Forum aims to channel this momentum into meaningful outcomes.
Attendees will include representatives from family offices, venture funds, institutional investors and a wide array of general and limited partners from across Europe, North America and Asia. The Forum’s design favors direct dialogue between capital and innovation, ensuring that investors gain not only insight – but access.
The event is about more than just funding. It’s about aligning resources with what may be the most profound challenge – and opportunity – of our time: extending the healthy human lifespan.
A roster of visionaries
The Forum features a lineup of pioneers in longevity science, biotech and translational medicine. Confirmed speakers include:
- Brian Kennedy – Professor, National University of Singapore
- Liz Parrish – CEO, BioViva USA
- Patrick Burgermeister – Partner, RegenEra Ventures
- Andrew Steele – Scientist and author of Ageless
They’ll be joined by founders, researchers and investors working across the frontiers of gene editing, longevity biomarkers and biotech-AI convergence. The Forum’s agenda blends scientific depth with a forward-looking investment lens and includes panels on Next Gen Diagnostics for Biological Age” to LP-GP Dynamics in Deep Longevity Investing. In short, this isn’t longevity as a buzzword – it’s longevity as a rigorously curated science-backed roadmap for transformation.
Longevity in Provence: More than a setting
Aix-en-Provence is more than a scenic location – it embodies many of the values central to the longevity movement. Its Mediterranean lifestyle, emphasis on wellbeing and medical infrastructure make it a natural home for this kind of gathering.
The venue, Le SetClub, is nestled among vineyards and cypress trees, offering a blend of modern conference spaces and wellness-focused amenities. Attendees can experience infrared saunas, cold plunges and precision nutrition between sessions – transforming the event into a living, breathing healthspan experience.
From sunrise movement sessions to conversations over locally-sourced meals, the setting amplifies the Forum’s ethos: that the future of longevity is both scientific and lifestyle-driven.
Designed for connection and action
The Forum is structured to prioritise interaction over passive consumption. Its format includes:
- Curated roundtable discussions
- Founder-investor matchmaking
- Speed networking between longevity startups and LPs/GPs
- Early-morning biomarker assessments
- Optional breathwork and movement sessions
- Evening gatherings and garden receptions
This design fosters trust, accelerates deal flow and encourages authentic conversation. The Forum isn’t just a meeting – it’s a platform for collaboration and momentum.
Networking isn’t confined to breakout rooms. It might happen during a cold plunge, over a shared wellness lunch or while discussing translational science under the Provençal sun.
A mission-focused community
The individuals attending the Forum aren’t just looking for investment opportunities. Many are motivated by a shared desire to contribute to one of the defining challenges of our generation: extending healthspan.
As one LP from a Swiss family office put it: “We invest across multiple asset classes, but nothing is more personally meaningful to our family than adding decades of healthy life to future generations.”
The Forum creates space for this kind of thinking – where participants can speak openly about scientific risk, ethical boundaries and the journey from lab to adoption. The result is a high-trust environment where ideas are sharpened and partnerships take root.
Planting the seeds of a global ecosystem
The 2060 Longevity Forum is more than a two-day event – it’s part of a larger movement to build a global, long-term ecosystem that bridges science, capital, policy and lifestyle.
For those ready to go beyond theory, beyond short-term thinking and beyond conventional investing models, this is an invitation to help shape the future of human health.
