They will then take question from the Judges and on-line audience members.

Responsible Investor co-created the Silver Linings older age care competition, organised by Hugh Wheelan, RI Co-founder and former Joint Managing Director, Sally Bridgeland, FIA, trustee, non-executive director and adviser, and Dr Rachel Melsom, MBBS, BSc., Director, Medical Matrix Consulting, and practicing physician with a special interest in Older Persons Care.
Having spent our careers in the world of pensions, investment, sustainability and the medical and caring professions, we know that providing and financing good, long-term care is a problem that is not currently getting the required attention, especially in terms of sustainable investment into solutions.
We started the Silver Linings Competition to get new ideas in front of investors.
Sign up for the competition’s final event on February 10 from 2.30 – 4.30 (GMT) here.
