For being AT ONE
IMPACT WEEK 2025 was more than an event — it was a convergence.
Over five days, more than 4,000 leaders from across sectors came together as one field, aligned in mind, heart, and action.
Together we launched coalitions and initiatives — from the 16-member Impact Partners Coalition to Asia's largest Ocean Fund and the Social Transformation Project in Fengshan — each a step toward shaping a Well-being Economy.
These milestones were not the work of one organisation alone, but of resonance and co-creation. To every partner, delegate, and supporter: thank you.
You were not just participants, but witnesses and stewards of the beginning. The movement has begun, and because we are whole, our actions will always be love.
Bringing Together Purpose-Led Leaders and System Builders
Co-creating Impact | Shaping a Future Where All Life Thrives
IMPACT WEEK 2025 is more than a conference—it’s a convergence.
A catalytic festival where business, philanthropy, capital, and community come together to reimagine the systems that serve life. Rooted in the vision of a Well-being Economy, this five-day experience brings together global leaders, bold thinkers, and frontline changemakers to unlock new models for regeneration, coherence, and shared prosperity. This is where dialogue meets design, and vision becomes action—for humanity, for the planet, and for generations to come.
IMPACT WEEK 2025 is more than a gathering — it’s a living space for collaboration, where business, capital, and community converge to turn bold ideas into shared action.
That shared commitment comes to life across Six Pillars of the Well-being Economy — the strategic arenas where deep change must happen:
SIX PILLARS OF THE
WELL-BEING ECONOMY
At the heart of it all is a call to be AT ONE — with ourselves, with each other, and with the world we’re helping to shape.
These pillars come to life through the Six Domains of Impact — each beginning with a provocation, leading toward shared action:
SIX DOMAINS OF IMPACT
SUSTAINABLE FINANCE:
How can finance regenerate ecosystems, empower communities, and deliver long-term societal value?
CORPORATE PHILANTHROPY
How can business evolve its role in giving — focusing on conscience, care, and long-term renewal?
NATURE RESTORATION
How can we restore ecosystems, revive bioregions, and reclaim our role as stewards of the Earth?
TECHNOLOGY & AI
How do we ensure technological innovation advances life — not just efficiency?
FUTURE OF EDUCATION
How might we redesign education to unlock human potential and prepare future-ready changemakers?
PARTNERSHIPS
How do we unify trust-based coalitions, transcend silos and drive systems-level change?
Together, these pillars and domains of impact align with and accelerate the priorities of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Tue 16 Sep 2025, 10:45 am - 12:00 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If we continue to solve problems in silos, we’ll continue to reproduce them at scale. Are we bold enough to redesign systems—not just strategies—for life to flourish?
In a world shaken by polycrisis—climate collapse, social fragmentation, rising inequality—it is increasingly clear that no single institution, sector, or actor can deliver the change we need. This opening plenary convenes a rare coalition of global leaders from the UN, WEF, education, business, philanthropy, and climate innovation to ask a bold question: How do we move from fragmented efforts to systemic transformation?
Tue 16 Sep 2025, 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
As societies grapple with complex social, environmental, and economic challenges, there is growing interest in models that centre holistic well-being. This session presents a pioneering case study from the Well-being and EESG Alliance (WEGA), exploring how China and Singapore—two nations with distinct histories, cultures, and governance systems—are forging innovative pathways to align national development with both human and planetary flourishing.
Tue 16 Sep 2025, 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If the world is in crisis because of how we’ve been taught to live, can education become our most powerful act of healing?
In a world marked by ecological collapse, social fragmentation, and spiritual depletion, the question is no longer just what we must change—but how we change ourselves to change the world. Education, therefore, cannot remain a siloed institution focused on academic achievement or employability alone.
Tue 16 Sep 2025, 2:45 pm - 4:00 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
What must we unlearn to become truly regenerative? And what new form of leadership will it take to restore both the Earth and ourselves?
As our planet reels from rising temperatures, degraded ecosystems, and resource exploitation, it becomes clear that these crises are not just environmental—they are deeply human.
Tue 16 Sep 2025, 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm (GTM+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Global Citizen believes the success of young people is the success of everyone. But classrooms cannot deliver if students are hungry, offline, or unwell. Ending extreme poverty means removing barriers to learning such as nutrition, healthcare, connectivity, reliable energy, safety, and equitable opportunity. Education is not a line item; it is a growth strategy that […]
Wed 17 Sep 2025, 9:00 am - 9:30 am (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum
What will it take to rewire global finance for well-being, equity, and planetary stewardship?
Wed 17 Sep 2025, 9:30 am - 10:30 am (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If finance is the bloodstream of society, why does it still flow in silos? Are we bold enough to architect a capital system that nourishes the entire body of the well-being economy?
In the well-being economy, finance is the first system we must rewire. Today’s fragmented capital flows—philanthropy, public grants, venture funding, and institutional investment—are ill-equipped to scale the integrated solutions our world demands.
