Industry Meets Policy: Scaling Sustainable Procurement Nationwide
Add to calendar
About This Session
Procurement is one of the clearest mechanisms for transforming sustainability performance into commercial advantage, but today that signal remains fragmented. Public and private sector buyers are beginning to incorporate sustainability into purchasing decisions, yet suppliers still face differing expectations, uneven incentives and limited visibility on how their sustainability performance matters in securing business opportunities. In Singapore, the Green 100 National Movement, launched by the Council for a Competitive Climate Transition (C3T), presents a timely opportunity to bring these efforts into greater alignment - connecting market demand with policy frameworks to strengthen the business case for sustainability across Singapore’s supply chains.
This session will bring together senior policymakers and industry procurement leaders to shape the next phase of sustainable procurement in Singapore. With upcoming developments on the horizon, the roundtable offers an early look at how the landscape could evolve - examining how public and private sector approaches can reinforce one another, where greater alignment can unlock value for suppliers, and what it will take to scale sustainable procurement nationwide.

About this session
The ClimateTech financing conversation has moved beyond simply identifying where capital is underinvested. The challenge now is capital coordination, across asset classes, investment stages, and between public and private capital.
ClimateTech companies typically require more capital, longer commercialisation timelines, and longer paths to exit. Yet grants, venture equity, growth capital, credit, project finance and infrastructure capital operate with different mandates, risk appetites and time horizons, often with limited coordination between them.
This fragmentation creates challenges on both sides: founders face financing gaps as they move from innovation to scale, while investors may be asked to take risks or accept timelines that do not fit their mandates.
The roundtable will examine where these disconnects occur and how stronger capital coordination and public-private coordination can create better conditions for both ClimateTech companies seeking to scale and investors seeking sustainable risk-adjusted returns.

About this session
Project Otto has brought together more than 25 GFIN financial regulators to explore how regulatory maturity can be measured across quantum security and quantum innovation. The resulting toolkit uses a framework built around observable and measurable regulatory parameters, structured around what regulators say, what regulators do, and how regulators engage.
The toolkit provides a snapshot of global maturity trends, highlights areas where regulators are already making progress, identifies common capability gaps, and captures lessons from regulators' experiences in supporting both quantum security and emerging quantum innovation.
This roundtable marks the launch of the Project Otto Toolkit and seeks to move the discussion from maturity assessment to practical action. Bringing together regulators and industry participants, the session will explore:
\- Which regulatory activities have the greatest influence on industry awareness, investment, and preparedness.
\- Whether a small number of regulatory actions can drive disproportionate improvements in maturity and sectoral action.
\- What actions regulators, industry participants, and international networks such as GFIN should prioritise over the next 12 months.
\- How can regulators move from measuring quantum maturity to taking practical action that strengthens regulatory capability and supports industry readiness?
