Abstract: Abstract This chapter reviews the main literature about elderly entrepreneurs in healthcare sectors and offers various illustrations of such involvement. Among the various empirical evidences, the chapter will illustrate in detail the case of Professor Umberto Veronesi, the brilliant Italian oncologist who recently passed away, who, in 1994, at the age of 69, founded the European Institute of Oncology (IEO), a research and healthcare organisation based in Milan. Drawing from this case study, the authors propose a theoretical framework for the experiences of elderly entrepreneurs in healthcare.
