"It is my great honour to welcome leading experts, researchers, and professionals from all over the world to participate in this event for exchange and collaboration in smart ageing. We look forward to your active participation with our common goal to facilitate a HAPPI life for the global ageing population."
Following the resounding success of the inaugural event in 2025, the Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA), in collaboration with many departments at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, is proud to present The 2nd International Symposium on Smart·HAPPI Ageing 2026.
The Symposium remains dedicated to the "HAPPI" vision: fostering an ageing experience that is Healthy, Active, Positive, Prepared, and Independent. Building upon the legacy of the first edition, the 2026 Symposium will continue to serve as a platform for knowledge exchange and international collaborations.
