Event Details

The share of senior citizens in Japan continues to grow, offering undeniable blue ocean potential. At this event, we focus on the business opportunities arising from this expanding, long-living, and affluent consumer group, often overlooked in marketing campaigns and investment portfolios. Beyond life sciences and financial services, the expansion of Japan's senior demographic comes at a pivotal moment marked by global trade reshuffling, digital transformation, and labour shortagesโ€”a known challenge for Japan's ever-expanding nursing homes. Join us at this EICN event as we explore, alongside corporate leaders, the opportunities and risks presented by Japan's fastest-growing and wealthiest consumer group.
