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.

From Intention to Allocation: Designing Family Impact Investment Architectures

Event calendar icon Tue 16 Sep 2025, 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Family offices are uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of impact investing—blending legacy, values, and capital to create lasting change. Yet many families still treat impact as a side initiative, rather than an integrated architecture of their investment strategy.

In this training and workshop session, led by the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) the team brings together family principals, next-gen leaders, and advisors to explore how to embed impact into the very core of governance, capital allocation, and measurement practices.

Event calendar icon Wed 17 Sep 2025, 9:00 am - 10:30 am (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Family capital holds immense power—not just to shape markets, but to seed transformation.

As a new generation of family business leaders and wealth stewards step forward, they face both a challenge and a calling:to go beyond traditional asset management and activate capital in service of life, legacy, and systems regeneration.

Philanthropy vs. Capital Markets: Who Really Moves the Needle?

Event calendar icon Wed 17 Sep 2025, 10:30 am - 12:00 pm (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In an era of overlapping crises—climate instability, AI-driven upheaval, and persistent inequality—the pressure to create impact is no longer optional. Every sector is now being asked: What good are you actually doing? Businesses are building sustainability into their models. Investors are embedding ESG (however imperfectly) into their portfolios. But what about philanthropy?

Family Capital = Institutional Capital: How can we leverage power of Family Capital for Catalytic Philanthropy towards Impact and Transformation

Event calendar icon Wed 17 Sep 2025, 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

As the boundaries between philanthropic intent and institutional strategy blur, family capital is increasingly stepping into roles once held by large foundations and multilateral agencies. More than just financial contributors, family offices bring long-term vision, intergenerational values, and the agility to take risks that institutional players often avoid. This session will explore how family capital […]

Unlocking the Silver Economy: Asian Families Leading the Way

Event calendar icon Wed 17 Sep 2025, 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm (GMT+8:00)

Well-being Future of Education Partnerships

Flourishing Across Generations: Youth as Co-Stewards of a Well-being Future

Event calendar icon Wed 17 Sep 2025, 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In a world marked by rapid change and overlapping crises, the responsibility for shaping the future cannot rest solely on the next generation, nor should the past be the burden of those who came before. What’s needed now is a new kind of leadership—shared, intergenerational, and regenerative.

This session challenges traditional ideas of leadership succession and legacy.

From Insight to Action: University-Driven Urban Transformation for Underserved Communities

Event calendar icon Thu 18 Sep 2025, 9:00 am - 11:00 am (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Universities have a unique opportunity to serve as catalysts for inclusive urban transformation—harnessing research, innovation, and convening power to address society’s most urgent challenges. This session explores how higher education institutions can evolve into anchor organisations for urban resilience, moving beyond academic outputs towards real-world impact.

Drawing on Sunway University’s community transformation work in underserved neighbourhoods, the session will highlight how universities can co-create solutions alongside local communities, governments, and businesses.

Well-being Future of Education

Event calendar icon Thu 18 Sep 2025, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

As trust in institutions declines and decisions are increasingly driven by metrics over meaning, this session offers a bold and timely proposition: what if we measured institutions not just by Return on Investment, but by Return on Values (ROV)? Anchored by a keynote and followed by a dynamic panel, the session explores how values such as integrity, equity, compassion, and stewardship can be placed at the core of performance indicators across higher education, business, philanthropy, and the public sector.
