AHWIN forum | Harnessing the Power of Technology for Healthy Aging in Asia

Completed

The 2022 AHWIN Forum will focus on regional efforts to translate data and innovations into better policies, products, and programs for healthy aging and care for older persons, and will examine best practices in designing age-friendly cities that enable people to stay active and connected and foster solidarity among the generations.

The AHWIN Forum is a joint initiative of the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) and the Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE) to encourage and inform effective aging-related policies throughout the world and to foster regional cooperation in promoting healthy and active aging among older persons in Asia. It is convened under the auspices of the Government of Japan’s Asia Health and Wellbeing Initiative (AHWIN) to bring together policymakers, researchers, private sector enterprises, and practical program implementers across the region for a dialogue on the future direction of global and regional collaboration to harness the benefits of data, technology, and innovation for the promotion of healthy aging in Asia and throughout the world.

The event will also include a special award ceremony and reception to honor the winners of the 2022 Healthy Aging Prize for Asian Innovation.
