Thank You

For being AT ONE

A Shared Beginning

IMPACT WEEK 2025 was more than an event — it was a convergence.

Over five days, more than 4,000 leaders from across sectors came together as one field, aligned in mind, heart, and action.

Coalition & Initiatives

Together we launched coalitions and initiatives — from the 16-member Impact Partners Coalition to Asia's largest Ocean Fund and the Social Transformation Project in Fengshan — each a step toward shaping a Well-being Economy.

Resonance & Co-creation

These milestones were not the work of one organisation alone, but of resonance and co-creation. To every partner, delegate, and supporter: thank you.

You were not just participants, but witnesses and stewards of the beginning. The movement has begun, and because we are whole, our actions will always be love.

Recap: The Week in Motion

Bringing Together Purpose-Led Leaders and System Builders

IMPACT WEEK 2025:
The Well-being Economic Conference & Festival

Co-creating Impact | Shaping a Future Where All Life Thrives

IMPACT WEEK 2025 is more than a conference—it’s a convergence.

A catalytic festival where business, philanthropy, capital, and community come together to reimagine the systems that serve life. Rooted in the vision of a Well-being Economy, this five-day experience brings together global leaders, bold thinkers, and frontline changemakers to unlock new models for regeneration, coherence, and shared prosperity. This is where dialogue meets design, and vision becomes action—for humanity, for the planet, and for generations to come.

Join us for a
5-Day Journey of
Co-creating Impact

IMPACT WEEK 2025 is more than a gathering — it’s a living space for collaboration, where business, capital, and community converge to turn bold ideas into shared action.

That shared commitment comes to life across Six Pillars of the Well-being Economy — the strategic arenas where deep change must happen:

SIX PILLARS OF THE
WELL-BEING ECONOMY


  • CLIMATE & NATURE

  • CIRCULAR ECONOMY

  • ENERGY TRANSITION

  • FOOD SYSTEMS

  • HUMAN CONSTRUCT

  • WELL-BEING

At the heart of it all is a call to be AT ONE — with ourselves, with each other, and with the world we’re helping to shape.

These pillars come to life through the Six Domains of Impact — each beginning with a provocation, leading toward shared action:

SIX DOMAINS OF IMPACT

Icon

SUSTAINABLE FINANCE:
How can finance regenerate ecosystems, empower communities, and deliver long-term societal value?


Icon

CORPORATE PHILANTHROPY
How can business evolve its role in giving — focusing on conscience, care, and long-term renewal?


Icon

NATURE RESTORATION
How can we restore ecosystems, revive bioregions, and reclaim our role as stewards of the Earth?


Icon

TECHNOLOGY & AI
How do we ensure technological innovation advances life — not just efficiency?


Icon

FUTURE OF EDUCATION
How might we redesign education to unlock human potential and prepare future-ready changemakers?


Icon

PARTNERSHIPS
How do we unify trust-based coalitions, transcend silos and drive systems-level change?

Together, these pillars and domains of impact align with and accelerate the priorities of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Roots of Resilience: Financing Mangroves for Climate and Community Impact

Event calendar icon Wed 17 Sep 2025, 3:45 pm - 5:00 pm (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

If mangroves protect us from the storm, why aren’t we protecting them with our capital? Can we finally finance nature as infrastructure—not charity?

Mangrove forests are a vital yet overlooked asset in Asia’s fight against climate change and coastal vulnerability. From absorbing carbon to shielding coastlines and sustaining millions of livelihoods, mangroves offer triple wins for climate, biodiversity, and communities. But to scale mangrove restoration, we need more than conservation—we need capital, community partnerships, and a new financing model.

De-Risk & Scale: Blended-Finance Pathways for Climate-Smart Food & Agri-tech

Event calendar icon Thu 18 Sep 2025, 10:00 am - 10:45 am (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Piloting innovative agri-food and climate solutions is difficult, but the greater challenge lies in scaling these from promising pilots to viable market-ready solutions. Traditional finance often views such ventures as too risky, creating a funding gap known as the “valley of death” where many breakthroughs stall.

Plant-Forward Food-as-Medicine: Prescription for Body and Planet

Event calendar icon Thu 18 Sep 2025, 10:45 am - 11:30 am (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

For centuries, Asian traditions such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and ancestral kitchens have treated food as both nourishment and healing. Modern science now confirms what ancient wisdom long understood: diet can prevent, manage, and even reverse chronic disease. A plant-forward diet—centred on grains, legumes, and vegetables—is one of the most accessible ways to support both personal health and the planet.

Climate & Nature Food Systems

From Seed to Table: Building Resilient Food Chains, One Ingredient at a Time

Event calendar icon Thu 18 Sep 2025, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Every meal we eat reflects a journey from farm to table—one shaped by local systems and global supply chains that directly impact people and the planet. Yet many staple ingredients still come from agricultural systems that degrade ecosystems, undervalue farmers, and leave rural communities at risk.

Regenerative agriculture presents a powerful alternative, using practices such as intercropping, agroforestry, and diversified farming to restore nature, boost farmer incomes, and build climate resilience.

Circular Economy Food Systems Nature Restoration

Closing the Loop: From Waste to Wealth—Asia’s Food Circularity Playbook

Event calendar icon Thu 18 Sep 2025, 12:30 pm - 1:45 pm (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Asia wastes over 230 million tonnes of food annually, even as more than 375 million people across the region remain undernourished. This stark contrast highlights food waste as not just an inefficiency, but both a social injustice and an environmental crisis.

This session reimagines food waste not merely as a challenge, but as a catalyst for regeneration. It explores how circular, inclusive, and low-carbon food systems can turn waste into value—economically, socially, and ecologically.

While clarity of purpose is essential, many wealth holders face real emotional and structural challenges when moving from intent to action.

In a safe and supportive environment, the programme guides them to name these obstacles and begin developing strategies to overcome them. Participants will also explore entry points into purposeful wealth deployment, including small capital allocations, collaborative initiatives, and cross-generational engagement.
