Impact Lab 4 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In a world facing deepening social, ecological, and economic disruption, transformation is no longer a choice—it is a necessity. Yet while impact capital continues to grow, the kind of capital needed to drive systems-level change remains scarce. Too often, brilliant ideas fail to scale because the infrastructure that enables lasting collaboration and integration—the “connective tissue” of change—is underfunded and overlooked.

This session, co-hosted with Catalyst Now and anchored by the 99 for Humanity initiative, explores how we can reimagine capital as a force for coherence rather than fragmentation. It invites participants to consider how funding can move beyond isolated innovation to support systems integrators, enable cross-sector ecosystem building, and embed shared value frameworks rooted in community wisdom, aligned policy, and long-term trust.

Through storytelling, immersive dialogue, and bold future-framing, the session offers a chance to experience what it means to fund the deeper infrastructure of transformation—where impact is not only sparked, but sustained, scaled, and stewarded over time.

Impact Lab 4 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

With representatives from the ClimateLaunchpad and ClimAccelerator communities, this session will showcase how a diverse and geographically distributed group of partners are working together to accelerate climate innovation.

The session will run for 60–75 minutes and includes three key elements:

Partner Spotlights – Short presentations (live or pre-recorded) from 4–6 Asian-based partners sharing their work and the value they’ve found in European collaboration.

Moderated Panel Discussion – A mix of in-person and virtual participants reflecting on key themes like knowledge exchange, mutual learning, and designing programs across contexts.

Interactive Dialogue – Open discussion or breakout element to encourage cross-audience networking and the sharing of new partnership ideas.

Impact Lab 4 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

How can funders, partners and founders work closely together to create impact? Join us for a dynamic workshop led by Co-Axis, an initiative by Temasek Trust, where impact-driven organisations will share their vision, challenges, and progress. This session is about sparking new ideas and conversations. Through facilitated discussions, funders, partners, and featured founders will explore areas for collaboration to unlock new ideas and co-curate solutions, with the potential to unlock deeper, lasting impact.

Impact Lab 4 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In a world dominated by dashboards and compliance, impact measurement risks becoming a hollow exercise—focused on accountability rather than transformation. While environmental metrics have advanced, social and human indicators remain fragmented and disempowering, often serving funders more than communities. Measurement tends to overlook what truly drives change: relationships, trust, and collaborative systems.

This session challenges the idea that more data equals more progress. Instead, it calls for a shift from activity tracking to agency-enabling, from siloed compliance to technology-powered, systemic learning and capital alignment. Drawing from grassroots innovations, financial rethinking, and digital intelligence, the session reimagines measurement as a living tool—not to control change, but to unlock it.

Participants will explore where current metrics may be muting their mission, and how rethinking what and how we measure can center equity, enable partnerships, and fuel systems change. Through provocations, case studies, and a hands-on Breakout Lab, this 90-minute session invites changemakers to reclaim measurement as a catalyst for meaningful, systemic transformation.

Impact Lab 5 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

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.

Impact Lab 5 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

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.

17 Sep 2025, 10:00:00 - 10:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 5 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

In today’s high-stakes leadership landscape, the ability to build trust, foster collaboration, and navigate complex human dynamics is more than a soft skill — it’s a strategic advantage. This session explores how relational intelligence — the intentional cultivation of trust, empathy, and psychological safety — can be a powerful lever for sustainable leadership and organisational success. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, social psychology, and high-performing teams, we will unpack the science behind connection and share actionable strategies to enhance collaboration.

Whether you are leading through complexity, preparing the next generation, or building a culture of belonging and accountability, this session offers the insights and tools to help you lead with both clarity and care.

Impact Lab 5 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

In today’s volatile workplace of burnout, uncertainty, and rapid change, resilience alone is not enough. This session explores self-compassion as a form of Mental Fortitude—a strategic capability grounded in psychological science and real-world organisational practice.

Far from a feel-good concept, mental fortitude drives performance, clarity, and sustainable leadership. Hiroshi Limmell, award-winning wellbeing leader at A*STAR, shares how self-compassion reduces self-sabotage, improves emotional regulation, and fosters healthier work relationships, especially during failure or complexity.

Through high-pressure case stories, cross-sector insights, and workplace-ready tools, participants will gain practical ways to embed mental fortitude into leadership, teams, and talent strategies—building cultures where people feel safe to learn, innovate, and thrive.
