Beneath the Waves: Catalytic Stewardship from the OceanXplorer

Event calendar icon 17 Sep 2025, 15:45:00 - 16:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Dive into the depths of understanding and action. In this immersive live-stream, the OceanXplorer— equipped with submersibles, ROVs, eDNA labs, and advanced mapping tools—will bring the ocean’s hidden life directly to Impact Week delegates. You’ll join an expedition unfolding in real time: exploring uncharted seamounts, surveying coral reefs, and witnessing marine biodiversity up-close in Indonesian waters. This isn’t just a “window into the ocean”—it’s a space to cultivate stewardship.

From Disclosures to True Accountability, Bridging Reporting and Regeneration

Event calendar icon 17 Sep 2025, 12:15:00 - 13:00:00 (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 4 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Disclosure frameworks like TNFD and TCFD promise transparency, but data alone does not heal ecosystems. This session challenges leaders to move beyond compliance: how can disclosures become living commitments to planetary regeneration?

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

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?

In the first phase, participants will explore their core motivations, personal values, and ambitions for impact. Through reflective exercises and peer engagement, they will gain deeper clarity about what drives them and what kind of legacy they hope to shape. The programme also brings participants face-to-face with activated changemakers, helping them understand what it means to be a changemaker themselves. These immersive sessions are designed to spark inspiration and build confidence to begin taking meaningful steps.

From “Interconnection to Integration”: Advancing Regional Energy Cooperation for a Low-Carbon, Competitive ASEAN Economy

Event calendar icon 18 Sep 2025, 10:30:00 - 11:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

The energy transition in ASEAN is not solely a technological challenge, but also a structural and economic one. Advancing national energy goals in isolation will fall short; instead, a coordinated regional approach is essential to ensure energy remains reliable, affordable, and sustainable—while bolstering economic resilience and industrial competitiveness. ASEAN has laid important groundwork through initiatives such as the ASEAN Power Grid, the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC), and the Enhanced ASEAN Power Grid MoU.

From “Load to Leverage”: Aligning Digital Infrastructure with Energy System Transformation in ASEAN

Event calendar icon 18 Sep 2025, 11:30:00 - 12:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

ASEAN is at a pivotal moment as digital infrastructure rapidly expands, and governments push to improve access to affordable, reliable, and clean energy. Without careful coordination, these dual priorities risk clashing—putting pressure on power grids, slowing decarbonization efforts, and entrenching inefficiencies. However, with strategic frameworks, digital infrastructure can become an asset rather than a burden in ASEAN’s energy transition.

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

Event calendar icon 18 Sep 2025, 12:30:00 - 13:45:00 (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.

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

Event calendar icon 18 Sep 2025, 10:45:00 - 11:30:00 (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.

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

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.
