Solving Regional Challenges in the 100-Year Lifespan Era with Longevity: COMMON Inc. and MSD Corporation Partner with Next Generation Medicine Japan to Promote Social Implementation of Health, Welfare, and Healthcare

COMMON Inc. and MSD Corporation will promote a partnership in the longevity domain with the General Incorporated Association Next Generation Medicine Japan, working on social implementation through forums, events, and regional collaboration.

The General Incorporated Association Next Generation Medicine Japan is an organization that aims to "create innovation by integrating medicine, technology, and business in the Longevity domain," promoting the development of the longevity domain in Japan and its connection with the global community. They are also planning to hold "Next Generation Longevity 2026" at Nakanoshima Cross in Osaka on October 15-16, 2026.

Forum Details

MSD Corporation aims to connect medicine and healthcare with business, and improve health value and health literacy. They are engaged in health checks for companies and municipalities, health management, health room services, and the design and implementation of healthcare services.

COMMON Inc. is developing platforms for public-private collaboration nationwide, connecting municipalities, companies, local organizations, and experts. On July 22, 2026, they will hold "Commons Connect Osaka Morinomiya" in Osaka, focusing on longevity. This event aims to create opportunities for collaboration between companies, government, and communities on regional challenges in the 100-year lifespan era, including health and welfare, nursing care, healthcare, inheritance, housing, and community-based integrated care.

This partnership will combine the advanced knowledge and global network in the longevity domain held by Next Generation Medicine Japan, the implementation capabilities in health management and healthcare services of MSD Corporation, and the public-private collaboration network with municipalities, companies, and communities held by COMMON Inc. The goal is to expand the concept of longevity beyond a limited scope of medical and research fields into regional societies and corporate activities.

Longevity is not just about living longer, but about living healthily, authentically, and with social connections.

In Japan, with its declining birthrate and aging population, extending healthy life expectancy, preventing the need for nursing care, pre-illness measures, addressing loneliness and isolation, housing, inheritance, community-based integrated care, and corporate health management are becoming increasingly important social themes.

However, these challenges cannot be solved by government alone, medical institutions alone, or companies alone. It is crucial for multiple domains such as medicine/healthcare, welfare, nursing care, housing, finance, food, exercise, technology, and local communities to collaborate and be implemented in actual regional and corporate settings.

Through this collaboration, the following initiatives will be advanced:
