To complement the G7 Global Dementia Legacy Event to be hosted by the Japanese Government in November 2014, OECD and Health and Global Policy Institute will convene a side meeting to highlight and discuss the critical role of the private sector in addressing dementia. Accelerated progress is needed in the development of prevention, care, and community-level approaches take shape. Yet, publicly funded programs alone are limited in their reach. Through private sector engagement and cross-sectoral partnerships, there is potential to uncover novel and innovative approaches to dementia. The goal of this meeting is to increase momentum behind these types of private sector-led strategies in order to take a practical step forward on this critical issue.
