Geronpreneurship Innovation Festival 2026

The Geronpreneurship Innovation Festival (GIF) is SUSS’s flagship platform under the Ngee Ann Kongsi Social Impact Hub, bringing together innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and lifelong learners to reimagine how we live, age, and contribute to a longer-lived society.

Anchored in the theme “The Power of Purpose in Ageing: Our Future Chapter”, GIF 2026 explores how technology, entrepreneurship, and human-centred design enable people to remain purpose-driven across life. Through powering conversations, showcases, and collaborations, the festival serves as a launchpad for future-ready innovations and cross-sector partnerships.
