Geopolitical significance of the longevity sector

Prince Michael of Liechtenstein is an important player in geopolitics, especially at the intersection where politics meets business, finance and the social context. 

In this short interview, we discuss the geopolitical importance of the longevity sector, and more:

  • How to grasp opportunities to live healthily and longer in a satisfying and as happy as possible way
  • The key challenges of the sector
  • How different regions require different approaches to the outcomes of healthy longevity
  • The main cultural differences in the perception of the importance of health preservation and illness prevention
  • Government versus personal responsibility regarding healthy longevity 

Highlights

  • The whole of society should be able to grasp opportunities to live healthy and longer in a satisfying and as happy as possible way.
  • Important drivers in longevity are the economy and demography.
  • What comes with an aging society is that it is an opportunity as long as people stay healthy and active.
  • In countries with a high welfare system, the perception of the importance of health prevention is lower than in countries where there is lower state welfare.
