Reality Check: Impact at the Crossroads

As capital flows shift, philanthropy evolves, and markets deepen across the Asia Pacific region, investors are grappling with a pressing question: What must impact investing become next? As Asia steps into greater financial influence, can it define impact investing on its own terms — and scale it with both rigor and relevance?
This is a moment for sharper additionality and greater discipline — and for a more fundamental rethink of how capital serves communities and climate across Asia Pacific’s diverse, fast-changing markets.
Join ImpactAlpha’s Jessica Pothering in conversation with Annie Chen (RS Group) and Sana Kapadia (Heading for Change) as they explore what the next chapter of purpose-driven capital in Asia Pacific demands — and who it must ultimately serve.
