Capital Exchange: The Longevity Economy

Capital Exchange focuses on the confluence of policy, money and growth. Beyond the political posturing and partisan rancor, the policy decisions made in the corridors of the Capitol are informed by, and greatly affect, the boardrooms of corporate America.  In this event series, CNBC journalists engage in candid conversations with top CEOs, lawmakers and administration officials, discussing ways public and private sectors can collaborate to grow the economy and create jobs.

Capital Exchange: The Longevity Economy spotlights opportunities and uncertainties associated with our increasingly aging population.  Discussion topics may include:

  • Ways the longevity economy drives growth and allows aging to be viewed as an economic opportunity
  • The size and profile of the workforce over the next 5, 10, 20 years
  • The impact of longevity on job creation, salary, wages, national GDP, and more

The Capital Exchange series is hosted by CNBC anchors and reporters, and the on-stage conversations are amplified by coverage on CNBC broadcast and digital properties.
