Purpose and background
Japan leads the world as a super aging society, in which one is elderly in three people.
Industry-academia-government have proceeded collaborations as the increase in lifestylediseases and dementia have become more serious in Japan. It is important for us to be amodel of the aging society and to contribute to other countries, by sharing and disseminating
our experiences to the world and developing them more with wisdoms from all over theworld.
With this background, we, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry have held “Well Aging
Society Summit Asia-Japan” since 2018 under the cooperation with experts from Japan andthe world. We aim to proceed information sharing internationally about healthcare and aging
with this summit.
More and more efforts such as healthy diet, participation to the society, and prevention
have been done to realize “well aging” which enables us to age healthy physically andmentally. Under this situation, these days, the importance of “well aging” has been recognizedagain, because it has been reported that people with underlying illness such as lifestyledisease tend to get more serious with infectious disease like COVID-19.
In 3rd Well Aging Society Summit, we will discuss about challenges, trends and solutions,which are changing or becoming apparent, especially, in this COVID-19 situation all over theworld. Through this event, we aim to accelerate innovations which contribute to extending
health life expectancy throughout the world.
