The AgeTech Collaborative from AARP is at the nexus of technology and longevity, leading a global effort to unlock AgeTech’s potential to improve people’s lives as they age. Around the world, people age 50 and older generate more than $45 trillion in annual economic activity, and this is projected to increase to $118 trillion by 2050.
