International Longevity Summit Africa 2025

The International Longevity Summit Africa (ILSA) is the premier annual gathering dedicated to advancing the science, policy, and practice of healthy longevity across Africa and the world. Organised by Afrolongevity, the summit has been at the forefront of fostering transformative discussions and collaborations since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared 2020-2030 as the Decade of Healthy Longevity.

This year’s summit, scheduled for Thursday 11th and Friday 12th September 2025, in
South Africa is themed:
“Future-Proofing Health: Africa’s Role in the Global Longevity Revolution.”

A LEGACY OF INNOVATION AND COLLABORATION

Building on its impactful past editions, ILSA continues to serve as a dynamic platform for connecting industry leaders, scientists, policymakers, diplomats, and innovators:

1. In 2023, hosted at the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa, the summit explored “The Longevity and Biotech Revolution in Africa: Leveraging the Dynamics of Diversity, Inclusivity, and Innovation.”
2. In 2024, held at the College of Medicine University of Lagos, Nigeria, it delved into “Unlocking Revolutionary Health and Med-Tech Vistas for Human Longevity and Wellness.”
