Redefining Value: From Extraction to Regeneration Across Global Flows
18 Sep 2025, 10:00:00 - 11:00:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Global production and consumption systems currently drive material waste, social inequality, and environmental degradation. The critical question is how to reimagine global value chains to shift from waste to worth.
This session, positioned as an East-West bridge, examines how these systems can evolve from linear extraction to regenerative flows, with industrial material recycling serving as a key entry point. Central to this shift is redefining waste—not as mere byproduct, but as a vital resource within a circular, interdependent economy.

A Tale of Two Countries: An Asian Approach to the Well-being of Nations
16 Sep 2025, 12:00:00 - 12:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
As societies grapple with complex social, environmental, and economic challenges, there is growing interest in models that centre holistic well-being. This session presents a pioneering case study from the Well-being and EESG Alliance (WEGA), exploring how China and Singapore—two nations with distinct histories, cultures, and governance systems—are forging innovative pathways to align national development with both human and planetary flourishing.

From Bottom Line to Lifeline: Reimagining Business, Capital, and Philanthropy for a Well-being Economy

Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
The future will not be inherited—it must be co-created. What will you commit to now, knowing that the wellbeing of all life depends on the courage of our next move?
This closing plenary of IMPACT WEEK is not a summary of what was—it is a declaration of what will be. Over the past three days, we have journeyed through the six pillars of transformation—from education to capital, from climate and nature to food, energy, and the human construct.
Food Systems Nature Restoration
Rethinking Food Systems: Mobilising All Voices for People, Resilience & Climate
18 Sep 2025, 09:00:00 - 10:00:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Food systems are a mirror of society, reflecting how we nourish, govern, employ, and sustain ourselves. Yet today, these systems are under extraordinary stress. From rising malnutrition to climate-induced crop failures, from chemically intensive agriculture to fragile global supply chains, the way we produce and consume food is becoming increasingly unsustainable, inequitable, and unsafe.
At IMPACT Week, we ask: How can food systems be reimagined to truly support human well-being, ecological regeneration, and societal resilience?

Extraction to Regeneration: Reimagining the Green and Blue Economies
17 Sep 2025, 16:30:00 - 17:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If today’s extractive industries became tomorrow’s regenerative engines, what would business look like—and are we bold enough to fund that transition?
Green and blue economies are no longer abstract ideals—they are the necessary frameworks for planetary survival and economic renewal. Yet for many business leaders, policymakers, and capital allocators, the question remains: What do these models actually require?

From Carbon to Coherence: ASEAN’s Leap into Regenerative Climate Economies
17 Sep 2025, 15:15:00 - 16:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If carbon is the currency of our time, will we spend it on survival—or invest it in a regenerative future?
Carbon is evolving from a pollution metric to a driver of economic design and investment. In ASEAN, where climate risk threatens up to 11% of regional GDP by 2100, there’s a growing need to shift from offsetting to transforming systems. This high-level plenary convenes changemakers from across the carbon economy: policy architects, technologists, regenerative finance pioneers, and bio-economy innovators.

Financing the Blue Shift: From Pledges to Regenerative Capital
17 Sep 2025, 14:00:00 - 15:15:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If finance doesn’t flow like the ocean—layered, interconnected, and regenerative—it won’t sustain what sustains us. Can we place those who live and work with the sea at the helm of ocean finance?
The ocean sustains all life on Earth — regulating our climate, feeding billions, and anchoring the entire economies of – yet it remains one of the most under-capitalised frontiers. In 2023, just $25 billion was invested in the blue economy—far short of the $175 billion needed annually to protect and regenerate this vast ecosystem.

The Next Horizon of Social Innovation
17 Sep 2025, 11:30:00 - 12:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If social innovation depends on extraction to survive, is it really innovation? What if every solution seeded dignity and scaled itself?
As investment paradigms shift to serve a well-being economy, so too must our vision of social innovation. No longer can social initiatives be confined to short-term impact or charitable models.

Capital at the Crossroads: Financing What the Future Needs
17 Sep 2025, 10:30:00 - 11:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Capital builds futures—but whose future, and at what cost? The well-being economy won’t emerge from better spreadsheets—it will emerge when capital dares to serve life, not just returns.
Money doesn’t just fund the future—it shapes it. In today’s economic system, capital is the first mover. It sets the tone for what grows, what stalls, and what never gets the chance to begin.

From Capital Stack to Impact Architecture: Rewiring the Capital Supply Chain and Blended Finance
17 Sep 2025, 09:30:00 - 10:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If finance is the bloodstream of society, why does it still flow in silos? Are we bold enough to architect a capital system that nourishes the entire body of the well-being economy?
In the well-being economy, finance is the first system we must rewire. Today’s fragmented capital flows—philanthropy, public grants, venture funding, and institutional investment—are ill-equipped to scale the integrated solutions our world demands.
