Gelephu Mindfulness City isn’t a Project, it’s a Term Sheet for Flourishing
Thu 18 Sep 2025, 8:45 am - 10:00 am (GTM+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
At the Himalayan foothills, Bhutan’s Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) is a Special Administrative Region and living experiment in redesigning the human construct—an urban platform where well-being, values, and human connection drive regeneration, resilience, and flourishing over extraction. As a trusted gateway for global partnerships and investment, GMC aligns investor confidence with Bhutan’s values-led model while enabling green industries, mindful tourism, finance, health, education, and technology.
Grounded in a new model for life—inner cultivation expressed as outward impact, it advances a philosophy where philanthropy, love, and sustainability are one. Using the OCTAVE concept as a reference lens—human-scale “code” informing city-scale choices—GMC elevates ecological stewardship and cultural integrity alongside modern economic drivers.
This session is the grounding: to turn vision into reality through co-creation among governments, philanthropies, investors, business, and communities to build a city where people and nature thrive. Through dialogue with visionary leaders, the session will highlight GMC’s global relevance—inviting governments, philanthropies, investors, private sector partners, and communities to co-create the future of cities.
