Envolve Dialogues - a platform for futureshaping

Envolve Dialogues is a collaborative platform within the ENVOLVE project and initiative that fosters futureshaping, open discussions, innovation, and action around key societal challenges, with a focus on sustainability, technology, and community impact. It applies three key values; Transformation, Integration and Neutrality. It aims to bring together diverse stakeholders, including policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and grassroots organizations, to explore and co-create solutions for complex issues. It is convened in Falkenberg, Sweden during Halland Tech Week.

Key characteristics of Envolve Dialogues include:

1. Interdisciplinary Approach: It integrates insights from multiple fields, encouraging participants from different sectors to share knowledge and collaborate on forward-thinking strategies.
2. Focus on Sustainability: Many dialogues center on sustainable development, exploring themes such as regenerative agriculture, renewable energy, and circular economies.
3. Open Innovation: Emphasizes open-source principles, particularly in the development of technology and practices that benefit the greater good.
4. Action-Oriented Outcomes: Goes beyond discussions to drive tangible results, such as projects, policy recommendations, or tools that can be implemented to address the challenges discussed.

It is a dynamic initiative designed to spark meaningful change by leveraging collective intelligence and a shared commitment to a sustainable and equitable future. 

Envolve Dialogues 2025 edition: Longevity Destination Halland

As part of Halland Tech Week, we launched Longevity Zone Halland – an initiative aimed at transforming Halland into the leading destination for long-term health, innovation, and entrepreneurship in the fields of longevity and preventive health.
​Halland is building on a legacy foundation of beyond-average population lifespan and a region of serene nature and wholesome foods. This is was amplified by including a tech dimension and explored in this year's Envolve Dialogues.

10:00–10:30 – The Longevity Economy - Future of health optimisation
Tine Hertz, CEO One Thirty Labs
​We are entering an era where health and longevity are no longer reserved for clinics or elite athletes; they are becoming central to how we live, work, and travel. Real estate, hospitality, and workplaces are uniquely positioned to accelerate this shift by embedding longevity-driven solutions directly into their environments.

In this talk, Tine Hertz, founder of One Thirty Labs and Copenhagen Health Week, shares how cutting-edge longevity practices, from diagnostics and recovery treatments to nutrition, light, movement, and mental wellbeing, can be translated into spaces where people spend most of their time. She will explore global trends and practical case studies of how hotels, residential projects, and corporate spaces are already beginning to integrate these elements, and what it takes to design concepts that are both commercially viable and scientifically grounded.

The session provides inspiration and a roadmap for developers, hoteliers, and decision-makers who want to differentiate their projects and tap into one of the fastest-growing movements worldwide: the longevity economy.
