On 12 February 2025, a joint meeting of the UK Aging Networks was held in Liverpool, UK. It was convened by the ECMage (extracellular matrix aging) network and EuroAgeNet, an initiative led by ECMage but involving four other UK aging networks — namely, the building links in aging science and translation network (BLAST), the cognitive frailty interdisciplinary network (CFIN), the aging and nutrient sensing network (AGENTS) and the food systems for older people (Food4Years) network — together with industrial and European partners. In this Meeting Report, we summarize the opinions of an industrial panel and round-table discussions on barriers and opportunities related to academic–industrial partnerships.
