Longevity Keynote –
Live longer.
Live better.
The science of longevity is exploding – and with it an entire economic sector. Roman Weishäupl shows how biotechnology, AI and precision medicine are redefining ageing, and the societal, economic and business consequences that follow.
In his longevity keynote, Roman Weishäupl shows how biotechnology, AI and precision medicine are redefining ageing – and what the science of longevity means for society, the economy and business. He explains concepts such as telomeres, senescence and epigenetic clocks in plain language and shows which sectors stand to gain from the longevity boom and what is already possible today.

Longevity keynote: frequently asked questions
What is Roman Weishäupl's longevity keynote about?
The keynote shows how biotechnology, AI and precision medicine are redefining ageing – and how an entire economic sector is emerging around it. Roman explains the basics of longevity science, looks at the consequences for labour markets, pensions and consumption, and addresses the ethical question of who gets access to these technologies and who doesn't.
What does longevity mean?
Longevity refers to the research and technology aimed at a longer and, above all, healthier life. The focus is on the biological mechanisms of ageing – such as telomeres, senescence and epigenetic clocks – and on interventions designed to influence them. The keynote draws a clear line between what is available today and what is likely to arrive in 5–10 years.
What role does AI play in longevity research?
AI is one of the key drivers: AI-driven diagnostics and personalised therapies are changing how medicine detects and treats disease. Roman shows how precision medicine and AI work together, and why longevity is as much a technology topic as a health topic. If you want to go deeper into AI itself, take a look at the AI keynote.
Who is the longevity keynote for?
Executives, strategy teams and mixed company audiences – no background in biology or medicine is needed. The topic is especially relevant for sectors directly affected by the longevity boom: from pharma and healthcare to fitness, financial services and insurance.
How long is the keynote and in which languages is it available?
The longevity keynote runs 45 to 90 minutes, with Q&A on request. Roman delivers it in English or German – for audiences of 8 to 5,000 people, in Germany, across Europe and internationally.
Can the keynote be tailored and combined with other topics?
Yes. Every keynote is prepared individually: after an alignment call and a deep dive into your topic, Roman shapes the examples and focus around your industry and audience. Longevity can be booked as a standalone keynote or combined with other topics such as artificial intelligence. Ideally, get in touch 6–8 weeks before the event.
