ADINBERRI LONGEVITY FORUM 2026
We are a foundation under Gipuzkoa Provincial Council; our purpose is to change the challenge of ageing into an opportunity for technological, economic and social innovation.
Our main mission is to promote a new quality and healthy ageing model, which is people centric, sustainable and based on private-public partnership.
Thanks to our partnering with public institutions, companies, research centres and social stakeholders, we drive innovation in areas such as prevention and promoting healthy lives, overall wellbeing, social and health care, and user-centric environments.
Our ecosystem consists of +700 stakeholders comprising public administrations, social entities, companies, training and skills-building, and innovation and research entities; our Innovation Strategic Agenda 2024-2027 governs our activities and acts as the instrument to structure and align the whole of the ecosystem to respond to the challenges associated with ageing. It is divided into 4 major challenges, 7 strategic goals and 25 lines of action to ensure the better overall wellbeing of people and which seek to foster competitive opportunities in the longevity economy.
