Shape the World Summit 2025

In this time of crisis, when hope dims, we believe leaders must unite across sectors and embrace creative leadership to drive Social Impact and Dialogue. 20 years ago we began Shape the World Summit in Singapore as the conversations then were simply about money making, without care for the common good. Today it is better, but much remains to be done.

Though launched in Singapore, our event is inspired by Chiara Lubich, UNESCO peace prize laureate, who envisioned in 1991 in Sao Paulo, Brazil a new generation of companies — profitable yet committed to the common good — known as the Economy of Communion.

As we celebrate our 20th edition, after years across Asia, we are honored to return to Italy during the Catholic Church’s Great Jubilee of Hope. Our event has featured influential leaders of change such as Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg and Temasek Holdings Chairman Lim Boon Heng.
