AARP, AgeTech To Take Center Stage At CES 2023 AgeTech Summit

New program track focused on technology solutions designed to meet the needs of the world’s aging population

AARP, together with the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), will launch the AgeTech Summit at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, NV. AgeTech spending is poised to grow fast, and this dedicated program of key speakers and panel discussions all focus on innovation in the AgeTech space.

“As startups and large organizations see financial benefits to develop products in the AgeTech category, consumers benefit from the continuing innovation which ultimately improves their everyday lives,” said AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins in a statement. “AARP is leveraging its expertise to accelerate AgeTech, by facilitating partnerships and collaboration across industries and sectors to move the category forward.”

New research from AARP’s Global Longevity Economy Outlook study shows the 50+ population contributed $45 trillion in global GDP in 2020, and that number is expected to grow to $118 trillion by 2050. Innovations in AgeTech are providing tools and technology to bring meaningful change and help solve the challenges of aging.

The AgeTech Summet program takes place throughout CES 2023 Thursday, January 5 through Sunday, January 8 at the Venetian Expo Center at Booth #52332.

Global aging is transforming economies around the world, and at the AgeTech Summit, industry leaders who view aging as the growth opportunity for the future will meet and learn more about the AgeTech Collaborative from AARP. In addition to innovation in AgeTech, the overall usage and purchases of technology among those 50 and older continues to grow. According to the AARP 2023 Tech Trends survey, people 50+ spent an average of $911 annually on personal tech in 2022 (up from $821 in 2021.)
