As traditional education and public health systems remain constrained by industrial-age models of standardisation—treating learning as a unidirectional transfer of facts and care as mere reactive intervention—these fragmented approaches struggle to address the profound shifts of the AI era and global demographic transitions. In response, there is an urgent need to embrace the Eastern epistemology of Gewu Zhizhi (Investigating Things to Extend Knowledge), shifting the logic of social infrastructure from functional maintenance toward systemic awakening.

This session explores a profound transformation centred on “Holistic Prosperity”. We examine how education can return to its essence—moving beyond simple knowledge acquisition to the cultivation of mind, character, and systemic thinking. Simultaneously, we explore how well-being systems can evolve from passive cost burdens into lifelong fountains of vitality. As a frontline laboratory for digital integration and demographic change, China is demonstrating a modern transformation rooted in the classical ideals of “Self-cultivation, Family Harmony, State Governance, and Universal Peace”. We shall observe how digital innovation, inclusive institutions, and social capital converge to establish the comprehensive development of the individual as the very foundation of future civilisational resilience.

What if the world’s largest emerging economy is, in itself, the most decisive large-scale testing ground for a Well-being Economy? As the world seeks new models of progress, China’s development represents a civilisational journey — one that offers profound insights for a global community in search of a holistic, inclusive, and regenerative future.

Moving beyond conventional models often hindered by fragmented interventions, we draw from the principle of “Dao of Nature”—a systemic worldview that structurally embeds social well-being and ecological restoration into long-term national renewal. This session delves into the mechanisms of “Systemic Synergy”, exploring how public missions bridge the private capital divide through “Patient Capital”. Our objective is to distill these universal elements, offering regenerative solutions rooted in Oriental wisdom to address the collective challenges facing humanity today.

Organizer: China Impact Investing Network (CIIN)，FOR GOOD AWARDS

As “doing good” moves beyond being a marginal note in financial reports, impact investing is undergoing a systemic revaluation of assets. This session focuses on its practical execution: how to transform the “positive externalities” of solving social and ecological challenges into measurable, investable core assets.

Drawing on the real-world benchmarks of the “Light Awards,” we will unpack models that successfully deliver both financial and social returns, explore how patient capital integrates with frontier technology and inclusive business, and examine emerging frameworks for impact measurement.

This is not just a showcase of quality projects, but an effort to embed social well-being into the core architecture of mainstream finance.

If “regenerative prosperity” is the core logic for addressing global systemic crises, then transportation and logistics networks serve as its physical execution layer. As global supply chains undergo rapid fragmentation and restructuring, traditional infrastructure export models are reaching their limits.

This session focuses on a key challenge for Chinese transport enterprises: shifting from exporting hardware to exporting standards and ecosystems. It brings a practical lens on global expansion—how to move from “going out” to truly “taking root” in markets like ASEAN, the Middle East, and Latin America.

With input from institutions such as AIIB, the discussion will also cover project financing, green bonds, and risk management, while exploring how to align Chinese and international standards and build resilient, collaborative global ecosystems.

The systemic worldview of a Well-being Economy provides us with a new foundation for understanding, and this session focuses on the very bedrock of that vision: the large-scale restoration of our natural world. Climate challenges are not merely isolated environmental issues, but systemic symptoms of a global extractive model reaching its limits. In this context, the principle of “Harmony between Humanity and Nature” is no longer just ancient philosophy; it is a vital compass for reshaping business resilience and asset value.

From the reversal of desertification to the systemic regeneration of our blue oceans, we will deconstruct transformative cases across both land and sea. We shall examine how China, through the synergy of long-term vision, innovation, and patient capital, translates ecological preservation into self-sustaining, regenerative models. This represents more than the healing of our environment; it marks a fundamental shift for capital—moving from a “resource extractor” to a “steward of living systems”.

As the linear “take-make-dispose” model reaches the physical boundaries of our planet, we are witnessing the systemic conclusion of an extractive logic. Addressing this limit requires integrating the regenerative principles of nature into the fabric of our industrial systems, ensuring that energy and matter transcend the fate of “consumption” to become part of a living, circular cycle.

As a pre-eminent global laboratory for renewable energy, China is demonstrating a profound shift through the large-scale deployment of solar and wind infrastructure alongside the structural re-imagining of circular supply chains. This session explores how whole-value-chain synergy dismantles the barriers of the “green premium”, transforming the challenges of transition into an intrinsic engine for a net-zero future. We shall examine how Impact Investing is reshaping asset allocation within this process—not merely seeking financial returns, but striving for a fundamental return to value in our global energy paradigm.

In the face of compounding climatic, social, and geopolitical challenges, traditional growth models rooted in extraction and zero-sum logic are reaching their limits. As fragmented interventions struggle to address systemic crises, there is an urgent need for an “Eastern Pathway to Sustainability”—one that translates the ancient wisdom of “Harmony between Humanity and Nature” into a driving force for patient capital and responsible innovation.

AT ONE IMPACT WEEK CHINA – the Well-being Economic Forum 2026 presents China as a decisive, large-scale proving ground for Regenerative Prosperity. We will explore how policy, finance, industry, and culture achieve profound synergy within this transformation. This is not merely a refinement of old paradigms, but a demonstration of how Eastern values such as He (Harmony) and Ren (Benevolence) bridge the divide between capital and public interest, reshaping the logic of value creation to power the foundations of a Well-being Economy.

The event is more than a cross-sector dialogue; it is a journey of collective evolution. We invite global policymakers and long-term investors to engage with this process, deconstructing the mechanisms that unify material prosperity with ecological restoration and human well-being. Moving beyond abstract discourse, we offer insights rooted in transformative practice, dedicated to weaving the “Well-being of Life” into the very fabric of global governance and capital flows—uniting awakened forces across borders to reshape a resilient and regenerative future.
