中国的崛起不仅是经济上的成功，更是一段承载文明意蕴的历程，为全球寻找新型发展模式提供了启示。植根于仁义、和谐与以人为本的治国方针，中国使数亿人口摆脱贫困，建设了规模空前的城市与产业，并将长远思维融入国家复兴的进程中。本次主旨演讲将邀请与会嘉宾探讨并分享推动这一转型的深层力量——不仅包括政策与项目，还涵盖其背后的精神、价值与体系。这些共同构建了一条面向人类与地球的整体性、包容性、可再生的繁荣之路。

China’s rise is more than an economic success—it is a civilisational journey with lessons for a world seeking new models of progress. China’s development draws from a wealth of civilisational treasures that serve as both its cultural foundation and intellectual resources. Guided by principles of benevolence, harmony, and a people-first approach, the nation has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, built cities and industries at an unprecedented scale, and woven long-term vision into its path of modernisation and national renewal. This keynote invites delegates to explore and share not just the policies and projects, but the spirit, values, and systems behind this transformation—offering an alternative pathway to prosperity that is holistic, inclusive, and regenerative for both people and planet.

The question isn’t whether these 5 days will matter in 50 years—it’s whether you’ll be part of writing that story.

The finale of IMPACT WEEK arrives not with applause, but with action. Multiple transformative initiatives will be unveiled, each aligned with the week’s vision of how sustained collaboration can shape the coming decades. From educational academies pioneering uniquely Asian approaches to sustainability to investment platforms that prioritise regeneration, from research reshaping global capital flows to coalition frameworks transcending traditional boundaries, these launches demonstrate the power of convergent timing—when programmes bridging inspiration with real world transformation emerge alongside critical conversations about systemic change.

Here, 5 days of alignment influence 50 years of transformation through concrete participation pathways, partnership structures, and institutional commitments that extend the week’s collaborative energy into lasting

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.

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.

What will it take to rewire global finance for well-being, equity, and planetary stewardship?

As the world faces accelerating disruption—from AI to ecological instability—traditional leadership models are no longer enough. This immersive session invites leaders to move beyond performance and adaptation, towards regeneration and wholeness.

Blending Regenerative Systems Thinking with Quantum Leadership, the session explores how today’s complex challenges require not just smarter strategies, but deeper inner clarity, relational awareness, and systemic coherence. Co-facilitated by practitioners from multiple disciplines, including neuroscience, coaching, economics, and somatics, the session offers a collective space for experimentation and renewal.

Participants will experience live demonstrations of regenerative coaching and consciousness-based leadership, engaging in dialogue and reflection to explore how transformation begins within. This is not a theoretical masterclass. It’s a living lab for leaders ready to realign their inner compass, rewire outdated assumptions, and take bold, regenerative action—within their organisations and beyond.

In an age of ecological collapse and social fragmentation, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But while no one can do everything, everyone can do something. Change doesn’t begin with certainty—it starts with the courage to collaborate across differences.

In this interactive workshop, policy entrepreneur and Global Citizen co-founder Michael Sheldrick will draw on case studies from grassroots period poverty activists in South Africa, Prime Minister Mia Mottley, the Caribbean, to coal towns in Western Australia reinventing themselves as clean energy hubs, we will explore how lasting policy change is created—not by purity, but by pragmatic idealism.

With over 15 years of experience mobilising $40 billion for frontline solutions, Michael introduces the tools of policy entrepreneurship: identifying levers of influence, building coalitions with unlikely allies, and turning bold ideas into real outcomes.

Designed for those working in climate, education, philanthropy, and community development, the session includes practical exercises to map alliances, tackle system blockers, and practise effective strategy. Participants will receive a copy of “From Ideas to Impact”—a toolkit to navigate uncertainty and sustain momentum in high-friction environments.

Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Realizing the full potential of climate innovation demands more than technology—it demands transformation. While groundbreaking climate solutions are emerging across Asia and the world, many remain disconnected from the systems they aim to change. Start-ups face fragmented support, short-term expectations, and limited pathways to scale—especially when their impact defies conventional ROI metrics.

This session convenes a new generation of climate entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem architects to reimagine what it takes to move from breakthrough idea to real-world transformation. We’ll spotlight founders who are regenerating ecosystems, healing communities, and reframing growth as service to life—not just shareholder value. Together, we’ll ask: how do we fund, scale, and support innovation that doesn’t just solve for carbon, but redefines value itself?

This is not a pitch competition. It’s a call to redesign the very systems that support climate innovation—from capital and community to narrative and policy.

Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In a world defined by accelerating complexity, no single solution, leader, or institution can solve the challenges we face. What’s needed is a shift—not just in tools or policies, but in how we see, relate, and act within systems.

This interactive workshop—led by Climate-KIC, Europe’s leading climate innovation agency—invites participants into a hands-on journey of systems thinking in action. You’ll learn frameworks that help you navigate uncertainty, uncover leverage points, and build personal and organisational resilience. Through real-world application, collaborative reflection, and practical exercises, you’ll gain the tools to envision and catalyse transformative change in your own sphere of influence. Because systems change doesn’t begin out there—it begins with how we show up within the systems we are part of.

Asia’s rapidly ageing population presents both urgent challenges and unprecedented opportunities. This panel explores how visionary Asian family leaders are reshaping the “silver economy” by blending tradition, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration. From reimagining eldercare services to investing in health-tech and community well-being, these families are mobilising capital, influence, and partnerships to create sustainable, inclusive ageing ecosystems.

Featuring perspectives from leaders of the sector, the discussion will highlight philanthropic approaches, impact investing models, and next-gen leadership strategies that redefine ageing from a social burden into a platform for transformation. As the silver economy expands, these families are proving that addressing ageing needs can simultaneously generate social impact, economic value, and enduring legacies—offering a blueprint for others across the region to follow.
