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.

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.
