Breakfast Workshop | Systems Thinking for Impact

Through interactive exercises and group discussion, attendees will practice applying systems thinking frameworks to real-world impact scenarios and walk away with actionable methods to apply in their organizations.10:30 - 11:10
Investor Panel I Making biodiversity investible for institutional investors
- Biodiversity is emerging as the next frontier in sustainable finance, yet it remains far harder to fit into traditional risk/return models than climate. This panel discussion explores how regenerative agriculture, forestry, and nature restoration can become investible at scale while avoiding double counting and greenwashing
11:10 - 11:15 coffee break
11:15 - 12:30
InvestorConnect session
This dynamic session, consisting of short 15-minute speed meetings, is designed to give asset owners an efficient way to learn about a selected group of impact strategies of institutional quality and take an opportunity to enquire for more details, whilst making connections with other asset owners along the way.
12:30 - 13:30 Lunch break
13:30 - 14:00
Fireside chat | The role of infrastructure funds
Infrastructure funds are central to financing the energy transition, from scaling renewable energy and storage to modernizing power grids. This panel will examine how infrastructure investment not only accelerates decarbonization but also strengthens resilience through climate adaptation measures such as flood defenses, sustainable transport, and water systems. We will explore how investors can balance long-term returns with measurable impact, ensuring that infrastructure solutions drive both sustainability and resilience.

14:30 - 15:20
Panel discussion | How do changes in regulation influence internal processes
Evolving sustainability regulations are not only redefining reporting obligations but also reshaping how organizations structure teams, systems, and decision-making. This panel explores how regulatory changes translate into internal process adjustments, from data collection and compliance frameworks to risk management and governance. We will discuss both the challenges and opportunities these shifts create, and how firms can adapt efficiently while maintaining focus on impact outcomes.
15:20 - 16:00
Panel discussion | Systemic Interconnectedness: What influences our thinking during a global crisis and how to think systematically
Global crises rarely occur in isolation conflicts, energy shocks, climate events, and food insecurity are deeply interconnected. In this session, participants will explore frameworks and tools for systematic thinking that help identify linkages, anticipate second-order effects, and inform more resilient strategies. Through interactive discussion, we will examine how geopolitical pressures reshape investment decisions and challenge conventional impact approaches.
16:00 - 16:20
Case Study | How government led mandates influence private investments in defence
Government-led mandates, from NATO’s defence spending targets to national security strategies, are reshaping capital flows into the defence sector. Our speaker shows research on how public policy directives influence private investment decisions, raising questions about ethics, risk, and long-term sustainability. We will explore whether defence and dual-use technologies can align with impact frameworks, and what boundaries investors should draw in a shifting geopolitical landscape.
16:20 - 17:00
Presentation | Rethinking Transitions
We often imagine transitions as moving from solution A to solution B. In reality, change is far more complex. Drawing on lessons from nature and the economy, Ammy shows how system change depends on interactions, diversity, and even volatility. The challenge is not so much finding good solutions, but ensuring sectors have the adaptability and resilience to absorb and integrate them. She offers guidance on how investors can structure portfolios and manage risk to achieve lasting impact.
