Hong Kong is among the world’s longest-living cities1, yet healthy years are not keeping pace. This widening healthspan–lifespan gap is driven by rising physical, mental, and financial pressures, alongside changing family structures that are reshaping traditional support. Increasingly, Hongkongers define longevity through quality of life, independence, and purpose — not merely living longer or remaining illness-free2 .
Manulife is committed to making longevity truly livable. We combine research-driven insights, innovation and advocacy, and community partnerships to help people not only live longer, but live healthier and more financially secure lives.
As longer lifespans become the new norm, the real challenge is no longer how long we live, but how well we live. Under the theme “Beyond Years: Building a Life WellLived”, the Forum will examine how financial resilience, wellbeing, technology and innovation must come together to enable people to live with choice, independence and purpose across every life stage.
