Manulife has launched its first Longevity Symposium in Asia, gathering over 1,000 participants, including healthcare experts and industry leaders, at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre. The event, attended by Minister of State Jasmin Lau, focused on improving quality of life alongside longevity. A key highlight was the introduction of the enhanced ManulifeMOVE platform, which now supports holistic wellbeing across six pillars, including healthcare and community engagement.
The symposium underscored Manulife’s commitment to advancing longevity in Asia, building on previous events in Boston. Benoit Meslet, President and CEO of Manulife Singapore, emphasised the company’s role in empowering customers to make informed health and financial decisions. “Our latest Asia Care survey shows that only 6% of respondents wished for a longer lifespan, the vast majority prioritised staying physically, mentally and socially active,” Meslet stated.
The event featured interactive sessions and expert panels exploring topics such as AI-powered health diagnostics and retirement planning. The enhanced ManulifeMOVE platform now offers a tiered membership structure and expanded services, aiming to help customers navigate life’s transitions with confidence. Harshal Shah, Chief Marketing & Experience Design Officer at Manulife Asia, noted, “With ManulifeMOVE, we’re giving customers the power to take charge of their health and financial choices.”
Additionally, Manulife and UpLink announced ten winners of the ‘Innovating for Asia’s Demographic Future Challenge’, recognising ventures with potential to impact Asia’s ageing societies. These initiatives will join UpLink’s Innovation Ecosystem, gaining access to networking and partnership opportunities.
