The UK has announced a public-private partnership with China to advance healthy ageing, bringing together Prudential plc and the National Innovation Centre for Ageing (NICA). The collaboration, finalized during Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper's visit, will establish local "Healthy Ageing Hubs" under the new AI Wellness Project.

Based on NICA’s "City of Longevity" model, the hubs will deploy UK-developed innovations in Chinese communities, offering free support to residents and promoting mobility, healthier lifestyles, and social connections. This initiative opens new opportunities in China’s rapidly growing silver economy while strengthening the UK’s leadership in global health innovation.

British Ambassador Peter Wilson highlighted strong demand for UK life sciences expertise in China, noting that projects like "City of Longevity Beijing" create growth opportunities for British firms and reinforce the UK’s reputation as a world leader in health innovation.
