Professor Andrew J. Scott Keynote Speaker

Professor Andrew J. Scott is one of the world’s leading voices on the economics of longevity. As Director of Economics at the Ellison Institute of Technology and Professor of Economics at London Business School, he combines rigorous macroeconomic analysis with a compelling vision for how societies, businesses, and individuals can thrive as life expectancy rises.

His latest book, The Longevity Imperative (2024), shortlisted for the FT/Schroders Business Book of the Year Award, offers a blueprint for building healthier, more productive societies in an age of unprecedented longevity. The book has been praised for its insightful analysis and practical recommendations.

An adviser to the UK Treasury, Bank of England, and World Economic Forum, Scott translates demographic insight into practical policy and board-level strategy—from investing in healthspan and lifelong learning to redesigning pensions and the labour market. As co-founder of The Longevity Forum, he convenes innovators across science, finance, and technology to accelerate change.

On stage, Professor Scott blends storytelling with clear-eyed economics, challenging audiences to rethink career paths, consumer markets, and capital allocation for a 100-year life. His evidence-based optimism equips leaders with the insight, inspiration, and global outlook needed to turn demographic headwinds into a durable competitive edge.
