ILC launched a new report “Advantage GM: Unlocking the longevity economy for Greater Manchester” in Manchester. The report looks at the conomic opportunities of ageing in Greater Manchester, and was developed in partnership with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).
Greater Manchester (GM) is an international leader in ageing. As the UK’s first age-friendly city region, it is at the forefront of global efforts to adapt to demographic change and population ageing. GM’s new Local Industrial Strategy makes clear its ambition to capitalise on the economic opportunities of ageing and promote healthy and active ageing for all.
This event was hosted by Accenture at their new Manchester offices and discussed the nature of these opportunities and how GM’s innovation infrastructure and other key stakeholders can best respond to them across:
Retail, culture, hospitality, tourism and sport
Transport and mobility
Housing
Health and social care
Future-Proof Your Risk Management & Compliance with Graph TechnologyNeo4j
In the aftermath of the Lehman crisis of 2008, financial services firms face a number of new regulations and risk management challenges.
One key regulation is the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), which is part of the upcoming Basel IV set of reforms. The new regulations require banks to reserve sufficient capital to maintain solvency through market downturns and avoid the need for government bailouts.
However, in this challenge lies an opportunity: Banks are using FRTB mandates in order to build a firm foundation for future risk management and compliance applications that lower development and staffing expenses, optimize reserve ratios, maximize available capital and drive investment profits.

IMAP Fintech Sector Leaders share insights into the global Fintech sector.
They look at the short- and long-term effects of the COVID pandemic and which subsectors stand to lose and who ultimately stands to benefit. Sharing their thoughts on key themes disrupting the sector, including payments, digitalization, lending and mobile, they examine
how these have been impacting M&A activity and valuations.
They provide an overview of the most active players, as well as expectations for this key sector moving forward.
Digital Disruption in Asset and Wealth ManagementCapgemini
The groundswell that is today impacting massively retail banking is now impacting all banking businesses. Opportunities offered by new digital technology such as Big data & analytics have not been fully explored yet by Asset & Wealth Management actors, and new technologies are mainly confined to improve shared platforms and reporting flexibility. But the turn might come soon now with the aggressive launches of Fintechs investing all parts of the banking business, including its most exclusive territories.
Asset and Wealth Management might be the next targets, facing the up-rise of new Robo-Advisors quickly gaining market
share on their devoted playground until now.
Traditional Asset and Wealth Managers should anticipate and react, building on their knowledge and assets in order to contain this new trend but this will require that they adapt and probably more globally rethink their business model, to avoid the commoditization of their activity.
The aim of this document is to present how Asset and Wealth Managers can take advantage of the digital revolution / emergence of Fintechs to become more competitive and attract more clients.

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council
Dr Natasha Azzopardi Muscat, Director, Country Health Policies and Systems Division, World Health Organisation EURO

Redefining lifelong learning webinar presentation slides.pptxILC- UK
We know that we’re living longer, which means many people will also be working for longer. One in seven people over 65 are still employed in the UK, but we’re still seeing challenges in our labour markets.
According to the ILC’s Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index, the UK’s work span is only 31.5 years, ranking the UK 47th out of 121 countries. Skills shortages driven by demographic change are hitting all sectors of the UK’s economy: by 2030, we could see a shortage of 2.6 million workers. On the other hand, if UK employment rates for those aged 50 to 64 matched the rates of those aged 35 to 49, the country’s GDP would increase by more than 5%.
One way to improve work span and employment is through lifelong learning. However, in the UK, as the Learning and Work Institute’s Adult Participation in Learning survey showed, rates of learning continue to fall with age. In 2023, only 36% of people aged 55 to 64, 24% of those aged 65 to 74, and 17% of those aged 75 and over said that they’d taken part in any kind of learning in the past three years.
To better understand the approaches in other countries, we consulted with experts in lifelong learning, both from the UK and globally. ILC's report, in collaboration with Phoenix Insights, Redefining lifelong learning: lessons from across the globe considers the approaches taken in Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. While each country’s approach is different, and shaped by its wider cultural, political and economic context, there are some common threads including: learning culture; the range of learning opportunities on offer; levels of support and investment; and accessibility

Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index - Our impactILC- UK
This year, ILC-UK launched the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index. This slide deck summarizes what we’ve achieved so far and sets out our plans for 2024 to continue to shape the agenda on global health.
Alongside the G20 Health Ministers’ meeting in Gandhinagar, India, in August, ILC-India and ILC-UK held a joint high-level side event to amplify the importance of healthy ageing and prevention among the G20.
Plugging the gap: Estimating the demand and supply of jobs by sector in 2030ILC- UK
The UK economy could see a shortfall of 2.6 million workers by 2030 – almost twice the workforce of the NHS – as a result of population ageing, the COVID pandemic and Brexit.
These shortfalls will affect the whole economy, with manufacturing, retail, construction, transport, health and social care among the sectors projected to be hardest hit.
To plug these gaps, Government must introduce a comprehensive Workforce Strategy looking at:
How to support people to stay in the workforce for longer, e.g. by supporting healthy workplaces, supporting carers and creating flexible conditions that suit people’s needs.
How to ameliorate childcare costs and reintegrate people into the workforce following timeout for caring or a health need
The role of migration and automation in addressing major workforce gaps

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

8. What I’ll cover
• About the research
• The economic opportunity of ageing
• GM’s innovation ecosystem
• The opportunities sector-by-sector
• What needs to happen now
10. About the research
• Examining the economic opportunities which arise as a result of population ageing for
Greater Manchester
• Opportunities within GM and for GM
• Opportunities for inclusion, and for innovation
• Considering whether Greater Manchester’s infrastructure is optimally structured to
support innovation to capitalise on these opportunities
• How:
• Reviewing the evidence, from Greater Manchester, the wider UK, and globally
• Interviews with stakeholders from across Greater Manchester economy
• Deliberative workshop with a range of stakeholders
• Working closely with the Ageing Hub
11. A note: Why 50+?
• Second half of life, rather than “older age”
• Highly diverse population, and multiple life-stages
But
• Marketed to as block
• Face challenges in the labour market
• Affected by long-term conditions
• More likely to be carers
13. Ageing as an economic opportunity
• Increasing shift in the narrative from a “demographic timebomb” to recognition of
the opportunities of ageing:
• ILC’s Maximising the Longevity Dividend - Spending by older consumers will rise from 54%
(£319 billion) of total consumer spending in 2018 to 63% by 2040 (£550 billion)
• 170 companies operating in the longevity industry in the UK alone
• Growing interest within the investment community:
• Jim Mellon, Aon, PGIM, L&G, Phoenix Equity Partners, BNP Paribas
• Think tanks and research bodies:
• Milken Institute, Stanford Center on Longevity
• Industrial Strategy Grand Challenge
• Healthy Ageing
14. The opportunity in GM
• Extends far beyond health and care
• A growing segment of the consumer
market
• Older consumers are spending on
leisure and tourism, fashion,
household goods, and
communication
• We looked at opportunities in:
• Retail, culture, hospitality,
tourism and sport
• Transport and mobility
• Housing
• Health and care
15. Seizing the opportunity: Why Greater Manchester?
• Strong credentials in innovation in the area of ageing
• First to establish an Ageing Hub and to make ageing well a priority
• Strong and established older people’s networks
• Commitment to become first age-friendly city region
• Strong research and innovation base to develop new markets
• Research expertise across universities
• Innovation infrastructure – including Health Innovation Manchester and Growth Company
• Significant test-bed
• Large population – nearly 1 million people aged 50 and over
• Devolved powers and aligned strategy across health and social care, transport, housing
and place-making, local industrial strategy

18. What have we found?
• Greater Manchester is well-placed to define and capture the new market
opportunities of an ageing population.
• World class research capability
• Large population of over 50s
• Devolution
• Track record on ageing
• Existing expertise on ageing across innovation ecosystem
• It already has many of the assets it needs to support innovation – there is an
opportunity to become a national and international leader in the ageing economy
19. What have we found?
• There are opportunities to do more, in particular:
• To improve awareness of the opportunities of ageing among businesses
• To business support opportunities of ageing
• To make sure potential innovators can connect with the the research and
insight in the city region
21. Retail, culture, hospitality, sport and tourism
• Older consumers represent a growing market segment with relatively high spending power – in
2018 they spent £3.5bn (around 45% of total spend in these sectors)
• There is a growing opportunity for businesses to attract and retain older customers through
developing more “age-friendly” environments, services or brands
• There is also significant potential for new products and services to respond to the changing
profile of consumers
• GM has a strong retail sector and high rate of business start ups – the city region has the assets
to capitalise on these opportunities
• GM has already led the way with initiatives such as Chatty Café andTake a Seat, and the Culture
Champions programme
• However there is a need to improve awareness of the opportunities of ageing across businesses
in these sectors, and to link innovators with appropriate support and expertise
22. Recommendations for retail, culture, hospitality, sport
and tourism
• Action by GMCA, the GM local authorities, and GM Chambers of Commerce etc to encourage businesses
to embrace the opportunities of ageing. This could include:
• A new centre of expertise on ageing markets within the Growth Hub – creating a clear front door for
innovators to access expertise on ageing and business support across GM
• Communicating the opportunities, and sharing good practice on the ageing economy
• Creating new “Customer Champions” to link local businesses to potential older consumers.
• Focusing ongoing built environment improvements and wider business engagement activity on making
high streets more accessible, in line with Age-Friendly community strategies
• Using SocialValue requirements to promote age-friendly provision e.g. in local authority commissioning
of sports facilities.
• Brokering links between GMs innovators and larger retailers and other significant market actors with
innovators in GM.
23. Transport and mobility
• There is increasing commercial attention to innovation in the field of transport and mobility, through the
UK Government’s Industrial Strategy Grand Challenge on the Future of Mobility.
• GM has a aligned and powerful transport infrastructure throughTfGM
• There is scope for improving existing transport services to make them more inclusive – which would
support older people to access health, retail and leisure services
• Innovative solutions are emerging in the area of community transport
• GM has a good track record of older people’s engagement around transport issues.
• AndTfGM have shown leadership on ageing and transport – with a recent report and action plan on age
friendly transport
• The limited scope ofTfGM’s powers in relation to bus and rail services makes it harder to push major
innovations, but there are real opportunities around inclusion.
24. Recommendations for transport and mobility
• TfGM should complete implementation of the recommendations of its age-friendly transport
report to enable older people to access shows and facilities and support them as active
consumers. It could:
• Define tighter requirements for public transport providers to make existing services more age-
friendly and accessible, working with GM Older People’s Network and the Disability Design
Reference Group.
• Roll out good accessibility practices and local initiatives across GM’s transport systems.
• Support development of innovative solutions to meet the needs of older people currently less
well served, such as community transport initiatives.
25. Housing
• Older people are central to the GM housing market – the number of households aged 55+ is
projected to increase by 41% between 2012 and 2037.
• There is a “rightsizing gap” – a lack of suitable homes to move into, in the places they want to
live, which has resulted in large scale unmet housing demand among older people.
• Meeting this demand offers the chance to stimulate a range of new manufacturing and
housebuilding technologies, digital home and construction solutions, and innovative financial
products and services, as well as unleashing significant housing wealth.
• Major corporates (financial services, utilities) are increasingly exploring this area, and seeking
partners and places for innovation.
• GM has a track record of innovation in housing and urban design, and established collaborations
between the public sector, academia and RSLs. However, there is still a significant gap when it
comes to private sector developers.
26. Recommendations for housing
GMCA should continue to work with GM Housing Providers and other stakeholders to promote
innovation in housing for later life, building on existing age friendly initiatives.They could:
• Use GMCA’s planning and spatial powers to promote new standards and models of housing for
later life that recognise changing market demands
• Convene developers, architects and designers, the wider construction industry, and the
financial services sector to develop new solutions to meet these requirements and deliver
these models
• Use GM Housing Providers collective purchasing power to incubate new models for housing,
home improvements, adaptations and retrofitting, and scale successful models across GM
27. Opportunities in health and social care
• GM’s health and social care system needs innovative solutions which deliver better
outcomes for people at lower cost
• GM has a unique opportunity via the Health and Social Care Partnership to take a whole
population / whole system approach to healthy ageing
• There are also growing consumer markets in both social care and health, upon which GM
could capitalise
• Health innovation is already a strength for GM, with a well-established research base
across the universities, and substantial investment in support for innovation through
Health Innovation Manchester
• The health and care system (as everywhere) is under pressure and this can create risk
aversity – there is real potential for innovation in “upstream” interventions to reduce
demand on more intensive services
• The Innovation Partnership on HealthyAgeing is a key development
28. Recommendations for health and social care
• The Innovation Partnership on Healthy Ageing should build on GM’s ambitions and
capabilities to promote further innovation at scale.The partnership could:
• Articulate a small number of areas in which innovative solutions are needed and support their
development based on GM’s existing strategies
• Continue to convene commissioners, funders and investors to stimulate a coherent
marketplace to test and scale effective innovation across health and care.
• Foster engagement between innovation bodies like Health Innovation Manchester, policy
makers and commissioners, and frontline staff across health and social care to align cultures
and understanding.
• Develop a clearer “road map” or “front door” for innovators and entrepreneurs within and
beyond GM to bring their solutions to the system.
29. In summary: Capitalising on the opportunities
• Greater Manchester has many assets to help it capitalise on the economic opportunity
of ageing.
• There is an opportunity for GM to embed expertise on ageing in its innovation
ecosystem and to be at the forefront of capitalising on the longevity dividend
• There are already a number of exciting initiatives to build upon
• The priorities are to:
• Communicate widely about the economic opportunities of ageing and the potential for
innovations in products, services, systems and structures
• Create a clearer “front door” for potential innovators
• Link those with ideas with existing research and insight including from older people
• Convene the businesses that can take proven ideas to scale (big retailers, housebuilders etc)

This is the process of innovation according to Nesta. Although many innovation models are focussed on a model of products, this model has learnings for social and public service innovation. The fundamental building blocks are:
Problem identification – reframing challenges and opportunities, understanding / forecasting demand, identifying what a “good“ solution would have to do
Idea generation – thinking of lots and lots of possible ways of tackling this problem
Testing – refining and improving ideas through trying them out in models / wireframes / small-scale trials and prototypes (iterating back to new ideas) until you get to a potentially ‘investable proposition’ – something that looks worth a punt
Start-up / real world delivery – trying to make a go of your idea for real – NB this iterates back to testing / refinement but you are now putting new bits on the plane as it is on the runway / in flight – this is where most start-ups go bust and where all of them burn a ton of cash trying to get to breakeven
Scale / spread – depending on your sector / funding base / model, either income-driven organic growth, or franchising / training / open source / letting people nick your idea / evangelising for uptake and adoption
