Global Capital Leaders Convene in Hong Kong for SFi Impact Week 2026 to Accelerate Purpose-Driven Investment
HONG KONG, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sustainable Finance Initiative (SFi) will host its fourth annual SFi Impact Week from June 1 to 5, 2026, bringing together more than 300 global family offices, asset owners, and innovators to mobilise capital for the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.
Under the 2026 theme, "Capital in Action | Impact in Motion", the convening shifts the dialogue from theoretical intent to the execution of scalable solutions. As the premier gathering for purpose-driven finance in APAC, the week-long event serves as a catalyst for strategic partnerships and institutional-grade deployment in a complex global economy.
Whilst macro headwinds persist, the regional impact ecosystem is undergoing a fundamental shift. Investors are increasingly moving beyond niche allocations, increasing capital flow into climate resilience, biodiversity, and financial inclusion. SFi Impact Week 2026 addresses this evolution by focusing on the confluence of policy, venture innovation, and private wealth.
"We are witnessing a pivotal shift as asset owners move from chasing momentum to backing the 'builders' of the real economy," said Katy Yung, CEO of Sustainable Finance Initiative. "SFi Impact Week is designed to turn high-level conversation into execution. Our goal is to deepen commitments across the region and provide the structures necessary for capital to meet the most pressing needs of our communities."
Flagship Event: SFi Impact Summit (June 3)
The week's centerpiece, the SFi Impact Summit on June 3, will feature over 40 global leaders sharing institutional perspectives on risk-adjusted returns and meaningful deployment. The Summit is supported by an elite network of partners including Pictet Group, Barclays, Swire Trust, Builders Vision, LGT Private Banking, New Forests, and InvestHK.

The 2026 Summit also introduces the SFi Innovation Lab, a strategic nexus where the "Capital in Action" theme meets real-world deployment. Through a series of lightning pitches and direct networking sessions, the Lab showcases high-growth ventures like Earthbanc, EcoBricks, Entobel, OneChain, uHoo and Urban Spring to a captive audience of impact investors. By focusing on market-ready solutions in climate-tech, circularity, and social equity, the SFi Innovation Lab serves as a primary catalyst for capital deployment into high potential impact-driven startups.
A Collaborative Ecosystem
Beyond the flagship summit, the week features curated salons and venture showcases supported by over 20 strategic partners, including The ImPact, The Nature Conservancy, and ImpactAlpha.
