Welcome to a Looking Forward’s Four For Friday. Four things that have piqued my interest this week. Have been on the road this week in Tokyo and Aichi, Japan at Independent Ageing, and will report more on these in this week’s newsletter. Meanwhile, enjoy!

Panasonic’s new push into health & wellness

Panasonic announced a new brand for health and happiness, Panasonic Well, led by tech veteran Yoky Matsuoky, who has held senior roles at Google, Apple and as a professor at Carnegie Mellon. (Hat tip to Mick Fitzgerald for the spot)

Global gathering of longevity biohackers

Billed as ‘the world’s top optimal human performance conference’ the Biohacker Summit 2023, held in Amsterdam on 14 & 15 October, shows how blurred the lines between aging, wellness, longevity, life extension and alternative / holistic medicine have become.

Dan Hill on strategic design

In this video, Dan Hill, Director of the Melbourne School of Design provides an introduction and overview of ‘strategic design’, which is “a mode of practice directed toward systemic challenges”.

Andrew Ng in Opportunities in AI

Broad yet accessible overview of emerging opportunities in AI, with Andrew Ng, founder of the AI fund, Chair and co-founder of Coursera and adjunct professor at Stanford.


That’s all for this week. As always, feedback welcome. Feel free to share insights or links of interest.
