Madrid, June 25, 2025 – The Longevity World Forum is strengthening its international position by moving to a new location in Madrid, a choice fully aligned with its growth and leadership objectives in the field of longevity science and healthy aging.

The Spanish capital prevailed over the cities that had applied to host the next edition, adding a major asset to its roster of flagship events related to science, research, and technological innovation.

A new chapter begins, culminating in the 4th edition of the Longevity World Forum, which will take place from February 18 to 20, 2026. An edition that, in the words of Francisco Larrey, director of the project, “raises the profile of an event that aims to revolutionize knowledge and practices in the field of longevity. In this regard, bringing the Longevity World Forum to Madrid will enrich the region’s connection with science by bringing together international experts, scientists, and technologists to explore the latest research in this field.”

2024: A successful edition
In October 2024, Alicante hosted the third edition of the Longevity World Forum. Over two days, this global event brought together nearly 1,000 participants around a program featuring top international experts. The agenda addressed topics such as preventive medicine, epigenetics, lifestyle, and their impact on longevity and healthy aging.

The event confirmed its global significance by establishing itself as an international meeting point for the exchange of ideas and the creation of synergies among different stakeholders in the sector.

2026: An Opportunity for International Projection
From February 18 to 20, 2026, the Longevity World Forum will hold its fourth edition at the La Nave Innovation Center, marking its first edition in a key international city: Madrid.

Within this framework, the congress will strengthen its role as a hub for the scientific community, the innovation ecosystem, and the industry connected to the sector. To achieve this, it is already developing a hybrid format to allow both in-person and virtual participation.

Additionally, it announces new initiatives, such as the inclusion of a dedicated day for startups, creating a new focal point to attract emerging companies in the longevity industry.

The congress is aimed at anyone with scientific, business, social, or economic interests related to longevity. This includes healthcare professionals and researchers, companies in the sector, E-Health startups, students, and anyone curious about the topic. The event’s global accessibility will allow participation from anywhere in the world, breaking down geographical barriers and fostering a global community of knowledge and collaboration.
