From Wealth to Wisdom: Reimagining Family Capital for a Flourishing Future

Wed 17 Sep 2025, 9:00 am (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Family capital holds immense power—not just to shape markets, but to seed transformation.

As a new generation of family business leaders and wealth stewards step forward, they face both a challenge and a calling:to go beyond traditional asset management and activate capital in service of life, legacy, and systems regeneration.

This lab invites families—across generations, geographies, and governance models—to explore the evolution from single-capital thinking to poly-capital design: the integration of financial, spiritual, natural, social, and intellectual wealth. Participants will dive into real case studies, test new collaborative models, and begin the design of personal and collective action pathways.

From Start-Up to System Shift: Redesigning the Climate Innovation Landscape

Tue 16 Sep 2025, 3:00 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Realizing the full potential of climate innovation demands more than technology—it demands transformation. While groundbreaking climate solutions are emerging across Asia and the world, many remain disconnected from the systems they aim to change. Start-ups face fragmented support, short-term expectations, and limited pathways to scale—especially when their impact defies conventional ROI metrics.

This session convenes a new generation of climate entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem architects to reimagine what it takes to move from breakthrough idea to real-world transformation. We’ll spotlight founders who are regenerating ecosystems, healing communities, and reframing growth as service to life—not just shareholder value. Together, we’ll ask: how do we fund, scale, and support innovation that doesn’t just solve for carbon, but redefines value itself?

This is not a pitch competition. It’s a call to redesign the very systems that support climate innovation—from capital and community to narrative and policy.

From Crisis to Reconstruction: Capital, Leadership & the Asian Future

Wed 17 Sep 2025, 1:15 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum

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.

From Intention to Allocation: Designing Family Impact Investment Architectures

Tue 16 Sep 2025, 4:30 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Family offices are uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of impact investing—blending legacy, values, and capital to create lasting change. Yet many families still treat impact as a side initiative, rather than an integrated architecture of their investment strategy.

In this training and workshop session, led by the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) the team brings together family principals, next-gen leaders, and advisors to explore how to embed impact into the very core of governance, capital allocation, and measurement practices. Through collaborative design challenges, participants will co-create strategies for aligning family values with investment theses, activating diverse capital tools, and defining metrics that reflect both purpose and performance. By moving from intention to allocation, families can ensure their legacy is not only preserved but actively shaping a well-being economy for generations to come.

From Vision to Value – A Discovery Series with Barclays & CSP SG on Sustainable Investing (Part 2: Barriers to Entry & Overcoming Obstacles)

Tue 16 Sep 2025, 3:00 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

How do you align personal purpose with intentional action? This programme, co-designed by Barclays and CSP Singapore, supports impact-curious wealth holders through a mix of workshops, peer dialogue, and real-world stories.

While clarity of purpose is essential, many wealth holders face real emotional and structural challenges when moving from intent to action. In this phase, participants will examine the barriers that often hold them back—from fear of judgment and family dynamics to lack of know-how and siloed systems. In a safe and supportive environment, the programme guides them to name these obstacles and begin developing strategies to overcome them. Participants will also explore entry points into purposeful wealth deployment, including small capital allocations, collaborative initiatives, and cross-generational engagement.

Ultimately, this series offers a structured yet personal entry point into the world of purposeful wealth stewardship, helping participants align their capital, relationships, and influence with their deeper purpose.

Impact Summit Asia 2025

Thu 18 Sep 2025, 9:00 am (GMT+8:00)
Nicoll 2 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

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.

From Vision to Value – A Discovery Series with Barclays & CSP SG on Sustainable Investing (Part 1: Foundations & Motivations)

Tue 16 Sep 2025, 1:00 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

How do you align personal purpose with intentional action? This programme, co-designed by Barclays and CSP Singapore, supports impact-curious wealth holders through a mix of workshops, peer dialogue, and real-world stories.

In the first phase, participants will explore their core motivations, personal values, and ambitions for impact. Through reflective exercises and peer engagement, they will gain deeper clarity about what drives them and what kind of legacy they hope to shape. The programme also brings participants face-to-face with activated changemakers, helping them understand what it means to be a changemaker themselves. These immersive sessions are designed to spark inspiration and build confidence to begin taking meaningful steps.

De-Risk & Scale: Blended-Finance Pathways for Climate-Smart Food & Agri-tech

Thu 18 Sep 2025, 10:00 am (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.

This session highlights practical cases demonstrating how catalytic philanthropy and blended finance can bridge this gap. Examples include catalytic grants that support farm-level validation and attract early-stage investors, and integrated financing models like risk waterfall and landscape-scale agroforestry that balance community livelihoods with nature restoration.

Together, these cases provide a clear, actionable playbook for a complete capital continuum—from philanthropy through risk-sharing capital and concessional finance to market-rate investment—emphasising the value of intentional financial partnerships.
