If speed without direction isn’t progress, why are we still racing? Burnout is not a badge of honour, and disconnection — from ourselves, each other, and the planet — is unsustainable. It’s time to challenge the culture of hustle and ask what truly matters.

This robust conversation brings together bold voices from business and psychology to reimagine organisations, communities, and futures that put people at the centre. Together, we’ll explore why collaboration beats competition in navigating complexity, how systems thinking can redesign work and leadership, and what it takes to replace exhaustion with cultures of care, connection, and regenerative impact.

What if you could dismantle the systems that drain us and design a future where people and purpose flourish side by side? In collaboration with The School of Positive Psychology (TSPP) Impact Lab 5, is a call to pause, reflect, and reimagine what truly matters. Bringing together thought leaders, changemakers, and practitioners from across sectors, we will explore how compassion, collaboration, and systems thinking can transform the way we lead, work, and live. More than resilience, this is about redesigning cultures and economies so wellbeing becomes the foundation — charting a path from exhaustion toward clarity, care, and collective impact.

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. Through collaborative design challenges, participants will co-create strategies for aligning family values with investment theses, activating diverse capital tools, and defining metrics that reflect both purpose and performance. By moving from intention to allocation, families can ensure their legacy is not only preserved but actively shaping a well-being economy for generations to come.

This is a fourth session of a four-session series.

This final chapter builds on the morning panel and place-based sessions to co-design a Singapore-based blended finance platform aimed at mobilising capital to transform Asia’s economic systems.

Drawing on insights from nature restoration and place-based investing, participants will explore how philanthropic, public, and private capital can be combined to finance well-being economies—absorbing risk, stabilising markets, and enabling investment in regenerative value chains. Through interactive design sprints, the session will examine governance models, capital stack structures, and MRV (measurement, reporting, and verification) systems to support equitable, nature-positive growth.

Participants will work collaboratively to co-create a foundational roadmap for launching the platform, complete with actionable strategies for aligning capital flows with ecological resilience, community prosperity, and long-term market health.

This in the third session of a four-session series.

This interactive workshop builds on the morning panel discussion by taking participants into Indonesia as a living laboratory for regenerative local economies. Using SecondMuse’s Economic Design and Development Tool (EDDT), it will explore how place-based investing can connect biodiversity protection with sustainable livelihoods and inclusive economic growth.

Participants will engage in collaborative mapping, apply the EDDT framework across different landscapes, and examine how strategic capital deployment can generate mutual ecological, social, and commercial value. The workshop will also focus on identifying scalable solution pathways, co-designing procurement strategies, and establishing KPIs that align financial returns with nature-positive, community-centred outcomes.

By the end, attendees will gain actionable insights and tools to invest in place—transforming landscapes into engines of regenerative prosperity while safeguarding ecosystems and communities.

This is the second session of a four-session series.

As nature degradation accelerates and institutions rethink their role in shaping a well-being economy, a new frontier is emerging: mutual value creation through nature restoration. This 40-minute dialogue brings together key leaders to explore how protecting nature is not only a moral imperative—but a strategic one.

Drawing from experience across corporate value chains, philanthropic capital, and ecological science, the conversation will spotlight how regenerative investments can align stakeholder interests, build resilient markets, and co-create shared prosperity. They will equip participants with a robust understanding of mutual value creation, from theory to market applications, enabling them to integrate purpose, ecosystem thinking, and outcome-linked procurement strategies within their organisations and investments.

This session also sets the stage for workshop sessions which will happen after this dialogue. Together, we ask: What does it take to make restoration not just viable—but vital for business, communities, and the planet?

How do you align personal purpose with intentional action? This programme, co-designed by Barclays and CSP Singapore, supports impact-curious wealth holders through a mix of workshops, peer dialogue, and real-world stories.

While clarity of purpose is essential, many wealth holders face real emotional and structural challenges when moving from intent to action. In this phase, participants will examine the barriers that often hold them back—from fear of judgment and family dynamics to lack of know-how and siloed systems. 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.

Ultimately, this series offers a structured yet personal entry point into the world of purposeful wealth stewardship, helping participants align their capital, relationships, and influence with their deeper purpose.

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 can match, complement, and even redefine the role of institutional capital in advancing catalytic philanthropy.

Featuring insights from pioneering foundations, family offices, and institutional investors, including a keynote contribution, the discussion will highlight models where family capital has driven systemic transformation—from education to climate resilience and social equity. It will examine how family offices can evolve beyond funders to become field builders, mobilising blended finance, co-creating with communities, and influencing policy change.

The most transformative sustainable finance models are emerging from Public-Private-Philanthropy-Partnerships (4Ps) that align around shared impact for a well-being economy. Corporate philanthropy plays a pivotal role in this ecosystem, bridging commercial interests with catalytic impact through strategic co-investment alongside public and philanthropic partners.

Beyond traditional CSR, corporate philanthropy has evolved to be a catalytic force—using grant capital to de-risk commercial investments while leveraging broader corporate assets. This session will explore how corporates can serve as both catalytic funders and strategic partners, collaborating with different stakeholders to fund innovation, crowd in private investment, accelerate sustainable transitions, and generate long-term value.

Models will be highlighted that integrate philanthropy with corporate strategy within 4Ps frameworks to drive scalable impact. AVPN will also introduce ASPIRE (Asia Partnership for Investment in Resilient Economies), a multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at unlocking scalable, people-centred finance for climate action and the SDGs in Asia.

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. Despite their benefits, these approaches often remain small in scale, blocked by challenges such as fragmented supply chains, market and finance failures, social inequality, and gaps in technical knowledge.

This session examines these barriers through the lens of a typical meal—featuring rice, vegetables, spices, oil, or coffee—and explores how collaborative, multi-stakeholder action can overcome them. It brings together businesses, farmer cooperatives, NGOs, policymakers, and ecosystem builders to spotlight real-world solutions like the Regenerative Food Facility and inclusive retail models.

Together, these efforts show how we can move from aspiration to action—transforming the food system one seed, one plate, one partnership at a time.
