    Jackson Mueller, Henri Dommel, Rory Eakin, Sahil Kini, Valery Vavilov, Craig Vosburg, PETER BARRON, NICOLAS GARCIA, JACKSON GABOURY, RORY KAUFMANN, David

    Speakers from the Milken Institute, MasterCard, CircleUp, and Bitfury detailed how financial technology is transitioning from theoretical potential to measurable global impact by bringing billions of unbanked individuals into the formal economy. Through initiatives ranging from India's Aadhaar and UPI systems to MasterCard's social benefit digitization and blockchain-based asset registries, these organizations have demonstrated significant GDP growth and reduced transaction costs for underbanked populations. Furthermore, the deployment of alternative data for credit underwriting and regulatory sandboxes is enabling agile lending models that support micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses previously excluded by traditional banking systems.

    The Upside of Aging: A Conversation in the Pavilion

    David, Henry, Mark Friedman, Frida, Hasi, Perry, Barry

    Facing a global demographic shift where the over-65 population will double and Alzheimer's cases triple, experts are calling for a systemic transition from a linear life model to one that leverages older adults as a generative resource. The event outlines critical strategies to bridge workforce shortages and health disparities through personalized medical interventions, financial reforms, and policies that integrate "encore careers" while addressing social infrastructure gaps. By reframing aging as a period of increased natural resource potential rather than decline, the discussion emphasizes democratizing extended health spans and creating structures that support meaningful contribution across diverse economic and geographic regions.
