Welcome Message from Co-chairpersons

It is with great pleasure and excitement that we warmly welcome you, on behalf of the organizing committee, to the International Conference on Gerontechnology 2026 (ICG 2026), which will take place on June 23, 2026, at Hong Kong Metropolitan University.

Under the inspiring theme “Advancing Global Engagement In Novel Gerontechnology” (AGEING), this conference invites us to reframe ageing not as a societal burden, but as a powerful opportunity for positive transformation. Ageing is often perceived solely as a challenge facing communities worldwide. However, through Advancing Global Engagement In Novel Gerontechnology, we can redefine ageing as a phase of life enriched by innovation, independence, and vitality. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies, we can augment human potential, enhance quality of life, foster deeper connections, and empower older adults to thrive in an increasingly digital world.

Building on the success of previous ICG editions, ICG 2026 will serve as a vibrant platform for academics, researchers, health professionals, industry experts, service providers, policymakers, and students to showcase their work, exchange their ideas, and build lasting networks. This conference will feature an engaging programme, including insightful keynote addresses, an interactive discussion forum, practical hands-on workshops, oral and poster presentations and the exciting Exergaming Competition.

Join us in Hong Kong as we unite to advance novel gerontechnological solutions that not only address the realities of ageing but also redefine it for the better. Together, we can promote healthy, active, and dignified ageing on a global scale, driving meaningful change and fostering deeper engagement.

We look forward to welcoming you in person in June 2026!
