CIIP's Akhil Khurana and Levonne Goh were recently featured as panellists at a Lunch & Learn session for the Temasek Trust Collective, sharing behind-the-scenes insights on initiatives and activities during the recent Philanthropy Asia Summit and Ecosperity Week. They were featured alongside Germaine Kok and Sherwin Tan of Temasek Foundation, Lee Mun Ling of Temasek Shophouse, Priscilla Lim of Philanthropy Asia Alliance, and moderator Christabel Reena David of Temasek Trust.

Akhil shared about the process behind organising the Innovation Spotlight, a collaborative effort in partnership with PAA and Co-Axis that brought together over 30 startups working across climate tech, health, and inclusive development, including from the Amplifier programme, as well as distinguished speakers from companies, financial institutions, and research agencies.

Levonne spoke on the challenges and takeaways that went into the drafting and preparation of CIIP's latest report, 'Climate Adaptation and Resilience in Asia', from research and analysis to stakeholder management, funder engagement, and visual design. She also shared about the planning behind the Impact Investing Roundtable, an annual event jointly organised by CIIP and Temasek.

As a member entity of the Temasek Trust Collective, CIIP continues to be grateful for the tremendous ecosystem support we receive and the opportunities we have to share insights and funnel our resources and energies toward impactful joint initiatives. We are grateful for the support of our colleagues across the Collective and look forward to building on the momentum from this year's Philanthropy Asia Summit and Ecosperity Week for future editions.
