Event Theme: 'Longevity' – Rethinking Health, Welfare, Elder Care, and Healthcare for the 100-Year Life Era Through Community and Public-Private Collaboration

As we enter the era of 100-year lifespans, communities must create systems that go beyond simply living longer—to ensure people can live securely, maintain social connections, and support each other within families and neighborhoods.

Issues such as extending healthy life expectancy, preventing the need for care, monitoring, housing, inheritance, end-of-life planning, combating loneliness and isolation, and integrated community care are becoming increasingly critical.

At the same time, these areas offer opportunities for diverse involvement—not only from healthcare, elder care, and welfare sectors, but also from real estate, finance, insurance, IT, education, physical activity, food, local communities, and health management.

At this Commons Connect Osaka event, we will connect regional challenges with insights from businesses and experts, centered on the theme of longevity, to envision the future of public-private collaboration in local communities.

He will speak on inheritance, housing, family decision-making, and support systems that enable people to live securely in their communities during the 100-year life era.

In aging communities, challenges related to inheritance and housing are not just individual or family issues—they are deeply connected to community welfare, vacant homes, elder care, monitoring, family support, and local community vitality.
