Capital builds futures\u2014but whose future, and at what cost? The well-being economy won\u2019t emerge from better spreadsheets\u2014it will emerge when capital dares to serve life, not just returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Money doesn\u2019t just fund the future\u2014it shapes it. In today\u2019s economic system, capital is the first mover. It sets the tone for what grows, what stalls, and what never gets the chance to begin. If we are serious about transitioning to a well-being economy then we must radically rethink where capital flows, what it values, and how it behaves. From catalytic philanthropy to impact-first private equity, from sovereign funds to grassroots-led investments, this plenary brings together visionary stewards who are already redirecting capital to where it matters most: climate resilience, social equity, circular economies, and community-led innovation. It will introduce a new capital logic rooted in regeneration \u2013 not extraction \u2013 to build systems that thrive. This requires a fundamental shift in how capital is structured, measured, and multiplied\u2014making it a vehicle for shared well-being and systemic transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
