Held in Berlin, Germany, on October 15th and 16th, and the United Nations Headquarters in New York City on December 3rd, 2024, Silver Economy Forum 2024: Leadership in an Aging World explored the opportunities associated with the growing global Silver Economy in a world of changing leadership and discussed what’s needed for successful leadership across issues and generations. 

Now in its fifth year, the Silver Economy Forum 2024 highlighted key themes at the intersection of leadership, successful aging, and the Silver Economy, including healthcare and finance challenges, technology’s impact on aging, the core elements in an age-friendly environment, and the future of traditional consumer businesses.  

Linking to the goals and aspirations of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Decade of Healthy Ageing, speakers at the Forum included representatives from international organizations, leaders in business and government, scientists and academicians as well as civil servants that are leading developments at a grass-roots level. 

The Global Coalition on Aging is pleased to have partnered with the American Council on Germany, the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations, and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs for this year’s Forum.
