• Janice Chia, Managing Director of Aging Asia

Singaporean entrepreneur Janice Chia founded Ageing Asia with the mission to drive innovation in the way future generations age, by engaging the business community to create better products and services that will enable healthy aging, independent aging, and dignified aging.

Janice has accumulated her vast experience from visiting over 400 residential and aged care homes from over 15 countries. Since 2009, she has been actively involved in consulting organisations seeking global best practices in housing, health, and care models that can be translated for the Asian market. Janice is also quoted regularly in the media, such as the BBC, on Asia Pacific business trends in aging.

Influenced by the changing needs of her elderly relatives, and inspired by higher expectations in the quality of life of the baby boomer generation, Janice firmly believes that social challenges of aging can be transformed into economic opportunities for Asia. Her vision is to change the way we age in the Asia Pacific and move towards an aging-at-home world where older adults age in better health, desire independence, and aspire towards aging with dignity.
