Closing the Loop: From Waste to Wealth—Asia’s Food Circularity Playbook
18 Sep 2025, 12:30:00 - 13:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
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.

Redefining Value: From Extraction to Regeneration Across Global Flows
18 Sep 2025, 10:00:00 - 11:00:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Global production and consumption systems currently drive material waste, social inequality, and environmental degradation. The critical question is how to reimagine global value chains to shift from waste to worth.
This session, positioned as an East-West bridge, examines how these systems can evolve from linear extraction to regenerative flows, with industrial material recycling serving as a key entry point. Central to this shift is redefining waste—not as mere byproduct, but as a vital resource within a circular, interdependent economy.

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.

Capital at the Crossroads: Financing What the Future Needs
17 Sep 2025, 10:30:00 - 11:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Capital builds futures—but whose future, and at what cost? The well-being economy won’t emerge from better spreadsheets—it will emerge when capital dares to serve life, not just returns.
Money doesn’t just fund the future—it shapes it. In today’s economic system, capital is the first mover. It sets the tone for what grows, what stalls, and what never gets the chance to begin.
