Hi, I’m Dominic Carter, Founder, President and CEO of The Carter Group.

With Covid, we all became more aware of the challenges of ageing and longevity in our various societies around the globe. And over the past five years or so, the uptake in Age-Tech solutions addressing the needs of ageing individuals have been remarkable. But the road to market can be long-and-rocky for product developers!

Recently my own parents in Australia have begun to need much more help, as they’re getting older too. That made me want to be a part of ramping up the speed at which we can bring these solutions to market in a viable manner.

At The Carter Group, we are committed to helping to solve this very important social problem in our world through our Living Bed Professional and User Communities.

We invite you to join us in our quest!

Hi, I’m Debbie Howard, Chairman of The Carter Group.

I’ve lived and worked in Japan since 1985, with a front row seat to the rapid aging here for nearly 40 years.

My experience with caregiving for my mom in the US opened my eyes even further to the global challenges of aging and family caregiving and it inspired me to become an advocate in this important space that impacts all of us.

You can hear me talking about it on podcasts, in corporate workshops, and of course here in our Living Best Professional Community, where we seek to supercharge the innovation ecosystem around age-tech products.

We hope you’ll join our mission!

Hi, I’m Adam Claydon-Platt, Head of Ventures at Living Best.

I founded my first business in Japan almost 20 years ago and for the past 5 years, I‘ve been supporting and investing in startups.

One of my main jobs these past few years, is helping international startups collaborate with Japanese corporations – in fields including smart cities, cleantech, healthtech, & age-tech.

I’m passionate about this work, because I believe it’s one of the best ways I can contribute to the much-needed realization of digital transformation, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in Japan.

I’m honored to be working with The Carter Group’s “Living Best Professional Community”, curating & supporting age-tech start-ups to help aging adults (and their carers) live healthier, happier lives.

Hi, I’m Asako Kurosaki, General Manager for The Carter Group.

I’m so excited to be involved in pushing forward the initiatives of our Living Best Professional Communities.

For professionals, we provide networking and opportunities for new product development in the age-tech sector.

For users, we provide the chance to help companies create new age-tech products to improve our daily lives.

Through these two important initiatives, we hope to make a tangible contribution to improving the lives of Japanese aging adults (and naturally, those who care for them, too).
