The Festival is the brainchild of Jérôme Pigniez, founder and president of On-Medio and SilverEco.org, the silver economy portal for the aging well sector. A renowned expert in demographic transition, agetech, he was the reporter for a Silver Economy working group of the Ministry of the Elderly and Autonomy, which followed the official launch of the Silver Economy branch of the French government.
“Demand is growing for solutions for an aging population. The share of the global population aged 65 years or above is projected to rise from 10% in 2022 to 16% in 2050.
