Going on from 8–9 April at Marina Bay Sands, the World Ageing Festival 2025 is a two-day celebration of innovation, resilience, and the future of wellness. This year, one name stands out in the crowd of exhibitors and thought leaders—Black Group.
Founded by Dato’ Sri Alan Lee, Black Group is making waves in the longevity space by bringing together cutting-edge regenerative medicine, AI, and luxury hospitality. From the outside, it may look like another investment company exploring opportunities in the wellness industry. But on closer inspection, Black Group represents a bold reimagining of what ageing could—and should—look like in the 21st century.
The Meditel movement: Health, but make it luxury
One of the most intriguing initiatives spotlighted at the festival is Meditel—short for “medical hotel.” Set to open later this year in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Meditel is Southeast Asia’s first medical hotel concept powered by Black Group.
The premise is deceptively simple: merge the infrastructure of a high-end wellness retreat with medical-grade diagnostics and robotic-assisted healthcare. But make no mistake, this isn’t a spa with a doctor on call. Meditel is being positioned as a fully integrated space for preventive ageing, diagnostics, and regenerative therapy, combining the comfort of luxury living with science-backed care.
It’s a response to a growing need in the region: Asia’s ageing population is expanding rapidly, and with it, the demand for proactive, tech-forward health solutions. Black Group is betting that the answer lies in a new category altogether—one that doesn’t treat ageing as a crisis, but as a journey that can be optimised with the right environment, tools, and mindset.
NeuroExo Therapy: Regenerative tech meets AI at World Ageing Festival 2025
At the heart of Black Group’s wellness offering is NeuroExo Therapy, a proprietary treatment derived from stem cells. Built on the foundation of their own stem cell-derived exosomal peptide platform, this therapy is a flagship product of Black AI, a biotech subsidiary under the Group.
So, what exactly is NeuroExo?
It is described as an AI-assisted regenerative treatment that promotes healing and rejuvenation through specialised peptides, offering a non-invasive pathway to optimise wellness at a cellular level. While technical details are still closely held, what makes this offering unique is its scalability—designed to be administered not only in clinical settings but also in home-based wellness environments.
NeuroExo is not just a therapy; it is being developed as part of a broader vision to integrate artificial intelligence, robotics, and neurocognitive science into everyday life. This aligns with Black Group’s goal of creating ecosystems of longevity, where wellness isn’t an event, but an ongoing, deeply personalised process.
More than medicine at World Ageing Festival 2025: A future-forward ecosystem
Black Group’s ambitions go far beyond therapy and hotels. Through its various subsidiaries and investments, the Group is actively building what it calls “Longevity Tech Ecosystems.” This includes combining hospitality, biotechnology, diagnostics, and AI into holistic experiences for consumers who are not just seeking cures—but ways to thrive as they age.
This positioning is crucial in a global climate where wellness has become a trillion-dollar industry, but meaningful longevity solutions remain scarce. Dato’ Sri Alan Lee’s strategy appears to be focused on bridging that gap—by introducing innovations that are both medically sound and emotionally resonant.
This is reflected in their approach to AI and robotics, which are not just used for data analysis or diagnostics, but also for enhancing cognitive and emotional support in older adults. As Black Group continues to scale across Southeast Asia, their work could very well influence how urban developers, healthcare providers, and investors design for the future of ageing.
Why it matters—and why now
The World Ageing Festival serves as a fitting stage for such conversations. Bringing together global stakeholders—from policymakers and healthcare professionals to startup founders and researchers—the event underscores the urgency and opportunity in the longevity space.
Black Group’s presence at the festival isn’t just about showcasing tech. It’s a statement about what ageing could look like when approached with innovation, empathy, and a refusal to accept decline as the default.
In an increasingly fragmented wellness market, Black Group is offering a unified, cross-disciplinary approach—one that could redefine how we think about everything from retirement to recovery, from hospitality to home care.
