Milan Longevity Summit
Bold Ideas, Big Systems, One Health May 20-23 2026
The Milan Longevity Summit is an international event focused on longevity and the future of health, but it approaches longevity in a much broader sense than simply “living longer.” Its central idea is One Health: the view that human health is closely connected to the health of society, the environment, cities, food systems, technology and the economy.
Day 3 brought some of the most cutting-edge biomedical science of the Summit, with two parallel rooms exploring cellular reprogramming, therapeutic strategies targeting ageing, regenerative medicine, the gender gap in longevity, exercise science, and an extraordinary breadth of emerging technologies. A landmark day for science.
