Nature-Positive Futures, Regenerative Business as the New Competitive Edge

17 Sep 2025, 09:00:00 - 10:15:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

What if the real competitive edge is not scale, but the ability to heal? In a world that’s out of balance, can your business become a sanctuary for regeneration? Nature-positive strategies are not optional—they are the path to resilience, trust, and long-term viability. This session invites business leaders, investors, and changemakers to reimagine their roles—not as extractors of resources, but as stewards of life systems.

Powering People: Financing a Just Energy Transition for Communities

17 Sep 2025, 10:15:00 - 11:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

If your energy transition leaves people behind, it’s not a transition—it’s an extraction. Are we bold enough to power dignity and decarbonisation together? The energy transition isn’t only a carbon story—it’s a human one. In Asia and across emerging economies, millions still live without reliable, affordable, or clean energy. Meanwhile, communities whose livelihoods depend on fossil fuel industries face disruption, displacement, and uncertainty.

Nature vs Tech: At Odds or in Sync? (Debate)

17 Sep 2025, 12:30:00 - 13:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Can technological innovation and nature-based climate solutions truly work hand in hand, or are they fundamentally at odds? Only through the power of digital innovation and AI can we map, manage, and restore ecosystems at the scale demanded by the climate crisis—nature alone cannot keep up.

Can Technology Innovation Heal What It Once Harmed?

17 Sep 2025, 13:30:00 - 14:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

If our technology is smarter than our hearts, it will never serve the Earth—can we design tools that honour the intelligence of nature itself? Once seen as a driver of environmental harm, climate tech is now racing to redeem itself. This session brings together climate investors backing innovations from carbon removal to regenerative agtech to explore a powerful question: How can we design and harness technologies that work with nature, rather than override it?

Real Stories, Bold Actions, A Call to Collective Courage

17 Sep 2025, 14:30:00 - 15:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In a world on fire, your story matters—what will you risk, what will you heal, what will you stand for? Beyond the data and the frameworks, the most powerful driver of change is human courage. This closing session lifts up real stories of people and organizations who turned conviction into action—shaping a regenerative future one bold experiment at a time. As we listen, reflect, and share our own aspirations, we invite each other to go beyond incremental steps and become agents of transformative change—rooted in the shared story of our Earth.

Beneath the Waves: Catalytic Stewardship from the OceanXplorer

17 Sep 2025, 15:45:00 - 16:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
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 Climate Talk to Climate Action: Storytelling, Youth Aspirations & Collective Impact

17 Sep 2025, 16:30:00 - 17:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

This interactive session blends hands-on science communication with a high-energy, youth-led panel to explore how storytelling, digital media, and intergenerational dialogue can turn scientific knowledge into collective climate action. Participants will dive into the power of science communication — learning how to make biodiversity personal and visible, to reframe overlooked urban nature, and activating citizen science to transform passive observation into public stewardship.

The Fifth Element: Learning, Life & the Future — Catalysing Regenerative Systems

18 Sep 2025, 09:00:00 - 10:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In a world fragmented by narrow perspectives and one-dimensional growth, our collective crises—from climate breakdown to rising inequality—have deepened. The Fifth Element, an initiative by the Club of Rome, urges us to rethink learning not as mere instruction but as a living, relational practice grounded in life’s complexity. In a truly regenerative economy, learning is central—not secondary—to driving change, becoming the medium through which transformation occurs.
