 This September, around 1,500 people from the world of business, investment, and policy convened in Hong Kong to look at how philanthropy can not only strengthen but also supercharge the ability to address some of the world’s biggest issues. This was the 12th annual AVPN global conference, presented with host partner Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. AVPN, originally called the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network, is Asia’s leading network of social investors. It consists of more than 700 organizations spanning 43 countries. Its mission is to increase the flow of both human and financial capital to maximize social impact. Over the course of three days, more than 100 sessions were held, as well as numerous occasions for networking and idea sharing. The message was clear: Focused Asian leadership leads to real results. In this special four-part series, we’ll hear some of the key themes emerging from the conference, from climate, to gender equality, to health, and beyond. Join host Rob Sachs of FP Studios for conversations with the people making the biggest strides in the field of impact investing throughout Asia. Sozialwissenschaften Ökonomie

  • Inclusion in the Asian Context

    Inclusion in the Asian Context
    Oct 22 2025
    We hear the word “inclusion” a lot, but what does it mean in practice? And what does it mean in the context of Asia, a continent home to thousands of languages and cultures? On today’s episode, host Rob Sachs takes a deep dive into this concept of Asian inclusivity from various points of view. To start, he talks with Sandiaga Uno, the former Indonesian Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, and Her Highness Princess Nouf Al Saud, the CEO of the King Khalid Foundation. Later in the show, Rob discusses what other countries can learn from China on eradicating poverty with Siddharth Chatterjee, currently serving as the U.N. resident coordinator in China. Then, Halima Iqbal shares how her company, Oraan, works to provide accessible financial services to Pakistani women.

  • Leading Social Investment in Asia

    Leading Social Investment in Asia
    Oct 15 2025
    This September, around 1,500 people from the world of business, investment, and policy gathered in Hong Kong for the 12th annual AVPN Global Conference. AVPN is the largest network of social investors in Asia, consisting of more than 700 organizations spanning 43 countries. Its mission: increase the flow of both human and financial capital to maximize social impact. Today, we begin our four-part series on impact investing in Asia by focusing on leadership. Specifically, we’ll be asking, what defines Asian leadership, and how does it differ from approaches in the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom? We’ll also look at how infusing mission-driven purpose with investing can lead to meaningful change. Host Rob Sachs discusses this topic with AVPN CEO Naina Subberwal Batra and later Brian San, the secretary-general of the Institute of Philanthropy, which was established through a seed grant from the Hong Kong Jockey Club and its Charities Trust. It is currently Asia’s largest philanthropic funder in terms of annual giving. AVPN: Asian Leadership for an Inclusive World is a podcast from AVPN produced by FP Studios.
