SINGAPORE, 19 MAY 2026 – Ecosperity Week 2026 will convene leaders across government, business, finance and civil society to explore practical, scalable innovations, policies and partnerships that can help translate the region’s 2030 climate ambitions into real-world impact. Organised by Temasek, the 12th edition of the annual conference takes place from 18 to 21 May 2026 in Singapore.
This year’s theme, “Asia’s Race Towards 2030: Powered by Innovation, Driven with Intent”, reflects a dual imperative: to harness breakthrough technologies and solutions while ensuring that progress is inclusive and enduring through a shared commitment among governments, corporates, investors and communities.
Ms Kyung-Ah Park, Chief Sustainability Officer, Temasek, said: “We are at a defining moment. The path to decarbonisation has become more complex amid geopolitical volatility and economic uncertainty — but the direction of travel is clear. Renewables, batteries and clean energy systems are increasingly the economic and resilient choices, and the surge in AI and data centre demand, if responsibly harnessed, can be a powerful catalyst for innovation and scale. Asia has the momentum and ingenuity to lead this shift, but intent must translate into greater action. That is what Ecosperity Week 2026 is about — focusing on what works, what can scale, and how we mobilise partnerships and capital to support the region’s sustainable growth.”
The conference plenaries on 19 and 20 May will take on some of the region’s most pressing and complex challenges, from navigating energy security amid global disruptions to financing credible transition pathways. In-depth dialogues at Ecosperity Week 2026 will also examine how AI can both accelerate climate action and reshape demand for digital infrastructure and what it will take to scale solutions that are both sustainable and bankable.
