PUBLISHED : 2 Oct 2026 at 12:15
TPC and NO.17 Foundation brought together more than 100 organisations worldwide to announce new strategic collaborations to advance the Well-being Economy, driving change across climate restoration, land, food, ocean, finance, investment and human development. Held in Singapore for its second year, AT ONE IMPACT WEEK 2026 welcomed more than 5,000 participants from across Asia.
Through Forum and Festival programming, more than 450 speakers shared knowledge and explored how capital, enterprise, philanthropy and government can work together.
The week led to three key strategic collaborations: (1) A New Model for Asia, exploring cross-sector models addressing challenges in land, food, health and energy; (2) From Nature Restoration to Mutual Value, developing an ecosystem model connecting Eastern and Western knowledge; and (3) Youth Employment Across Southeast Asia, supporting youth employment through innovative ventures in the ocean economy and food systems.
SINGAPORE, 8–12 September 2026 — Ms. Janjira Panitpon, Head of TPC Thailand Office, shared that this year’s AT ONE IMPACT WEEK 2026 | Singapore returned to create greater impact and advance the Well-being Economy, bringing together more than 5,000 participants, including business leaders, investors, philanthropists, government, scientists and communities from more than 100 organisations. Convened by TPC (Tsao Pao Chee) and NO.17 Foundation from 8 to 12 September at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, the week combined private bilateral and closed-door multilateral meetings with the three-day public Well-being Economic Forum for invited guests and partners. Another highlight was the Singapore debut of the AT ONE – all is well Festival. Across more than 180 programmes and experiences and 25-plus partner-led events, more than 450 speakers explored how capital, enterprise, philanthropy and government can work together under this year’s theme, “What if Love Became Infrastructure?”
The week’s success was driven by the recognition that climate instability, biodiversity loss and social fragmentation are not separate crises. They are symptoms of structural challenges in an economy that rewards extraction over stewardship, and measures growth even as the foundations of life erode. AT ONE IMPACT WEEK 2026 | Singapore brought together leaders, businesses, government representatives and communities across sectors to address these interconnected challenges and explore how a Well-being Economy can serve the flourishing of people and planet.
For TPC, the priority was to turn business beliefs into action. The work reflected across AT ONE IMPACT WEEK, from leadership and human consciousness, to East–West exchange, to capital, nature and community, was grounded in the belief that business must step up to drive change, and that this requires new ways of leading, new bridges between perspectives, and new forms of collaboration.
AT ONE IMPACT WEEK was built as two halves of one question. The Forum asked how to build the Well-being Economy. The Festival, AT ONE – all is well, asked the other half of the question: who must we become to build it? Together, the two followed TPC’s I-to-We pathway, from individual awareness, to relational responsibility, to institutional stewardship, to creating value for wider society.
AT ONE IMPACT WEEK laid the foundations and established a framework for advancing the Well-being Economy. Transformation moved across four interconnected ecosystems — Urban, Rural, Ocean and Human Consciousness, enabled to scale through four infrastructures: Capital; Energy & Nature; Human Development; and Community & Culture. Together, these advanced TPC’s six investment-focused pillars for the Well-being Economy: Well-being, Climate & Nature, Energy Transition, Food Systems, Circular Economy, and Human Construct.
AT ONE IMPACT WEEK also connected Eastern and Western knowledge, bringing East–West perspectives into greater dialogue. The week created a platform for this exchange across business, leadership, capital, technology, culture and human development, connecting different perspectives to explore ways to advance the Well-being Economy.
Over three days of Forum discussions, participants explored how to develop economic systems and themselves as contributors to change. These exchanges led to commitments and collaborations to continue beyond the event and expand from Singapore to other regions.
Bringing Together Regional Partners
AT ONE IMPACT WEEK was a convening for regional partnerships. Its Ecosystem Partners were National Geographic and the World Economic Forum, with Temasek Foundation as Co-Creation Partner. They were joined by the NO.17 Foundation Coalition partners and more than 100 partner organisations and contributors working across climate, ocean, nature, cities, philanthropy, storytelling, systems change and human development.
From Dialogue to Action
On the final day, the Closing Ceremony announced more than 15 partnerships and commitments to advance the Well-being Economy, spanning nature restoration, food, health, energy, youth employment and the blue economy. Key collaborations included:
- A New Model for Asia: The Rockefeller Foundation, TPC and NO.17 Foundation joined forces to explore cross-sector models addressing the interconnected challenges of land, food, health and energy across Asia, bringing together philanthropy, business, capital and communities to develop scalable solutions with lasting impact.
- From Nature Restoration to Mutual Value: TPC, NO.17 Foundation, the Economics of Mutuality Foundation, Mutual Value Labs and SecondMuse came together to build an East–West, place-based ecosystem model for nature restoration, shared prosperity and well-being.
- Youth Employment Across Southeast Asia: The Standard Chartered Foundation, TPC and NO.17 Foundation joined forces to explore cross-sector models for youth employment through innovative ventures in the ocean economy and food systems.
AT ONE IMPACT WEEK in Singapore is part of a wider transformation journey — bringing together capital, enterprise, philanthropy, knowledge and community around a shared mission: to serve the well-being of life and create wealth at the same time.
