As capital tightens and traditional funding slows, a new mix of venture, public, and philanthropic capital is reshaping how innovation gets financed. Where is liquidity really flowing, how can teams better manage runway alongside new rounds, and how do different investors coordinate - or fail to - across the start‑up lifecycle to support credible scale‑up?Speakers

Philanthropic capital is playing a critical role in de‑risking innovation, attracting private investment, and backing solutions that markets alone won’t fund. How can philanthropists bridge public-private priorities, timelines, and risk tolerance - and which collaboration models are proving most effective?

What could a truly effective investment ecosystem look like for agri-food innovation across Asia-Pacific? In small, expert-led campfire groups, delegates will work through the capital stack — from venture and corporate investment to public, philanthropic and institutional funding — to identify where capital is falling short, what partnerships could unlock greater scale, and what signals could give investors confidence to deploy. Groups will then report back with the stakeholder, collaboration model and action they believe could most accelerate investment over the next three years.Host

Consolidation and restructuring are reshaping corporate risk appetite, investment timelines, and partnership priorities. How is the role of CVC evolving - and where can corporates still play a distinctive role in de‑risking innovation through pilots, procurement, and infrastructure?Speakers
-
With IPO windows largely closed and strategic M&A slowing, the industry is being forced to rethink what success looks like. How are expectations shifting among VCs and CVCs, where does private equity now see value that venture capital may not - and what can we learn from countries like China where state influence, domestic consolidation, and strategic ownership are redefining liquidity and exit pathways?
-
In this fast‑paced case study, a corporates and start-up pair takes the stage to unpack what it really takes to move from pitch to partnership - and from innovation to scale. Expect candid insights on real‑world collaboration models, key decision points, and lessons learned when working across organisational boundaries. The session offers a grounded look at what works, what stalls, and what both sides wish they had known earlier.
