De-Risk & Scale: Blended-Finance Pathways for Climate-Smart Food & Agri-tech
18 Sep 2025, 10:00:00 - 10:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
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.

Power of the Narrative: Funding and Framing Impact Storytelling for a Fractured World
16 Sep 2025, 13:45:00 - 15:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 4 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
In an era marked by climate crises and global health challenges, telling the most important stories has become increasingly difficult. With declining trust in media, rising misinformation, and audiences turning away from complex narratives, the question arises: how can storytelling remain a catalyst for societal transformation?

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.

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?

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.

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.

Roots of Resilience: Financing Mangroves for Climate and Community Impact
17 Sep 2025, 15:45:00 - 17:00:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If mangroves protect us from the storm, why aren’t we protecting them with our capital? Can we finally finance nature as infrastructure—not charity?
Mangrove forests are a vital yet overlooked asset in Asia’s fight against climate change and coastal vulnerability. From absorbing carbon to shielding coastlines and sustaining millions of livelihoods, mangroves offer triple wins for climate, biodiversity, and communities. But to scale mangrove restoration, we need more than conservation—we need capital, community partnerships, and a new financing model.

Scaling Climate Action and Nature-Based Solutions: From Intent to Impact
17 Sep 2025, 14:45:00 - 15:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If you think small businesses can’t drive big change, think again—nature-positive futures will be built by those closest to the land, the food, and the water we depend on.
Scaling climate action is not just about ambition—it’s about turning intention into real, measurable impact. In this session, we’ll highlight how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can play a catalytic role in weaving climate ambition and nature-based solutions directly into the fabric of Singapore’s economy. We’ll move beyond generic strategies and explore practical, grounded approaches to integrate food, forestry, water, and waste solutions into the core of business models.

Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If your climate plan fits in a spreadsheet, it’s too small. It’s time to think in living systems, not silos—because what benefits nature also strengthens your community and your core business.
It’s time to stop tinkering at the edges. This session challenges leaders to go beyond pilot projects and start reimagining entire systems—how we produce, trade, consume, and regenerate. From finance to food, from supply chains to policy, we will surface real-world pathways for scaling climate action and nature-based solutions that honour both planetary health and human dignity.
