如果世界上最大、增长最快的经济体，同时也是全球最重要的影响力投资者之一，会怎样？中国的发展历程——植根于对福祉、生态文明和制度创新的追求——为世人提供了一个生动的案例，展示了以使命为导向的治理与协同投资如何在全国范围内实现转型。从让数亿人口脱贫，到建设庞大的基础设施网络、提升医疗水平、拓展教育资源，中国的成就挑战了人们对可能性的既有认知。凭借规模、速度与系统性协调，中国完成了许多看似无法实现的目标。如今，新的篇章正在展开：反思哪些经验具有普遍意义、哪些具有其特定语境，以及如何以负责任的方式与世界分享。本论坛诚邀中国领军者与创新者以开放姿态参与国际对话——不设防、不倨傲，秉持谦逊之心与服务之诚，分享洞见，为构建更具再生力与包容性的全球未来贡献中国智慧。

What if the world’s largest and fastest-growing economy is also one of its greatest impact investors? China’s development story—rooted in the pursuit of well-being, ecological civilisation, and institutional innovation—offers a living case study in how purpose-led governance and coordinated investment can transform a nation at scale. From lifting millions out of poverty to building vast infrastructure networks, advancing healthcare, and expanding education, its achievements challenge assumptions about what is possible. With its scale, speed, and systemic coordination, China has accomplished what few thought achievable. Now comes the next chapter: reflecting on which lessons are universal, which are context-specific, and how they can be responsibly shared with the world. This panel invites Chinese leaders and innovators to engage internationally—not defensively, but with confidence, humility, and a commitment to service—offering insights that can inform a more regenerative and inclusive global future.

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

Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

This is the first session of a four-session series.

Before we can regenerate forests, systems, or economies, we must first ground ourselves. This guided session offers delegates a reflective space to connect with personal clarity, shared values, and systemic awareness ahead of co-creation workshops on rainforest revitalisation, food sovereignty, and community renewal. Using Perennial’s proven methodology, it helps align inner leadership with the complexities of ecological and social change.

Open to policymakers, entrepreneurs, funders, and practitioners, the session provides a vital pause to anchor purpose, resilience, and presence. It poses a bold question: could stillness and reconnection with values be the most radical starting point for true transformation?

As the post-war world order fragments and financial systems strain under the weight of climate shocks, inequality, and demographic disruption, global leadership stands at a crossroad. From Washington to Beijing, the very foundations of how we govern, grow, and allocate capital are being recontested. In Asia—where China’s ascendancy, Singapore’s stewardship, and ASEAN’s emergence converge—a new centre of gravity is forming, with profound implications for the future of global finance, diplomacy, and civilisation itself.

This high-level fireside chat gathers leaders in governance, monetary policy, and regenerative economics to confront failing systems and explore bold alternatives. From Singapore’s unique position between East and West, the conversation reimagines capital in service of life, questions whether governance can move beyond zero-sum geopolitics, and challenges leadership to be defined by purpose, not profit. This is not about reform—it is about reconstructing how we lead, govern, and prosper in a multipolar, interdependent world.

This is a fourth session of a four-session series.

This final chapter builds on the morning panel and place-based sessions to co-design a Singapore-based blended finance platform aimed at mobilising capital to transform Asia’s economic systems.

Drawing on insights from nature restoration and place-based investing, participants will explore how philanthropic, public, and private capital can be combined to finance well-being economies—absorbing risk, stabilising markets, and enabling investment in regenerative value chains. Through interactive design sprints, the session will examine governance models, capital stack structures, and MRV (measurement, reporting, and verification) systems to support equitable, nature-positive growth.

Participants will work collaboratively to co-create a foundational roadmap for launching the platform, complete with actionable strategies for aligning capital flows with ecological resilience, community prosperity, and long-term market health.

Capital flows determine which futures get built. Through this collaboration with IMPACT WEEK, the Phenix Capital Group is challenging Asia-Pacific’s institutional investors to move beyond the question of returns to ask: What world are we investing into existence?

Under the theme “Beyond Returns: Investing for People, Planet & Financial Returns,” this summit embodies IMPACT WEEK 2025’s call to reshape finance from extractive to regenerative. Pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices will explore how the Well-being Economy framework can guide allocation decisions that serve life, not just portfolios.

This is where IMPACT WEEK’s vision meets institutional power—demonstrating that finance can regenerate ecosystems, empower communities, and deliver long-term societal value. Because the most radical act in finance today isn’t optimising returns. It’s optimising for regeneration.

In the face of escalating crises, we must return to the question of why impact exists in the first place. FBN Asia through this inaugural Impact Forum event brings IMPACT WEEK 2025’s Well-being pillar to life, challenging global family business leaders to root every decision in the flourishing of life.

Through candid conversations and real-life examples, families will explore how to evolve from wealth preservation to regenerative stewardship—moving beyond individual accumulation to collective care. Interactive partnerships and co-investment opportunities demonstrate how multi-generational thinking can transform business models that serve significance, not just success.

At IMPACT WEEK 2025, well-being is not an outcome, but the organising principle of systems. This forum showcases how family enterprises, with their natural capacity for long-term thinking and values-driven decision making, can become the foundation upon which all other pillars of the Well-being Economy stand.
