Mission 3

Do you want to design and build solutions for one of the developed world's toughest challenges? Join Zinc's third mission to transform the quality of later life and drive innovation in the healthy ageing agenda. Today there are one billion people in the world aged over 60. By 2050 there will be two billion. By 2100, there will be three billion. As people are living longer, older people are becoming an increasingly large proportion of the population. By adopting a mission-led approach, we focus on creatively solving problems which often don’t fit into traditional silos. We are currently recruiting for our next company builder programme which brings together 50 talented individuals, domain expertise, insights from social science and a leading network of experts to create new purpose-driven companies to tackle this mission. Commencing 30 September in London, the nine-month full-time programme will provide you with the opportunity to build an innovative, highly-scalable, purpose-driven business with support from a world-class network of experts from business, academia, design, technology and the public sector. It will also provide a stipend, access to co-founders, funding, resources and a shared workspace. Applications can be made on our website and will close on 21 July 2019. The video below captures the journeys of some of our Mission 2 Founders who have recently completed the programme and launched their new businesses that are unlocking opportunities for people in places hard hit by globalisation and automation.
