What we have lined up
See our upcoming engagements across the range of programmes in 2022.
Policy Lab Convening with Dr. Pun-Arj
To encourage greater corporate investment into innovation in Thailand, Dr. Pun-Arj, Executive Director of the National Innovation Agency, will be speaking with business leaders and other policymakers around the region to learn from best practices and overcome similar challenges.
This workshop will be led by Villgro Philippines, an early-stage impact incubator/accelerator based in the Philippines. The objective of the workshop is to support the Vietnam cohort through market-specific tailored content that will help establish an understanding of how funders assess an enterprise, versus how founders evaluate Investment Readiness.
Impact Hive Consultation with Social Entrepreneurs
In February 2022, we are convening a consultation session with EY senior leaders and social entrepreneurs, for an focused discussion on the entrepreneurs’ key challenges to their enterprise, and how they can be overcome.

Experiences of our Stakeholders
Hear from the Corporates, Foundations, Impact Organisations, Entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders about their experiences and how we have partnered for a greater collective impact.
Being with AVPN has helped us better understand the different players in the ecosystem. It has also encouraged us to be better collaborators by playing our part as a universal bank that connects clients to opportunities.
Eugenia Koh
Head of Sustainable Investing at Standard Chartered Bank
AVPN is a really critical organisation, as we think of bringing people together to solve some of the biggest issues in the world. They are a convenor, a thought partner, and have the ability to look across the network for unique partnerships to help us achieve what we want to achieve.
Lauren Moore
Vice President, Global Community Impact at Johnson & Johnson
We were one of the first foundations to support AVPN, and so far we feel very positive about that investment. When I looked out at the size of the crowd [at the AVPN Conference], I can’t believe that this is brought together by an organization that is still very young, and I think that you are a magnet in this region.
