Gathering female entrepreneurs, building a human-centered economy for Asia Pacific
How can women’s perspectives shape a more human economy?
This Asia-based initiative explores how women’s systemic and relational perspectives can help reimagine a more human-centered economy. In a world rapidly transformed by AI and technological disruption, we believe it is essential to return to questions of meaning, dignity, care, and community.Women’s ways of seeing rooted in relationships and interconnection can help reveal the deeper links between people, communities, and nature, and inspire more regenerative models of development.
The gathering fosters collaboration across faiths, sectors, and cultures, bridging Catholics and non-Catholics, business and social impact practitioners, as well as Asia and the Western world. It serves as a platform for cross-cultural dialogue and experimentation in human-centered economic models led by women, with a focus on shared learning and co-creation.
Held in a nature-surrounded resort in Bandung, Indonesia, the program includes Healing & Wellness.
Target: Entrepreneurs & Visionaries: Founders, digital nomads, social workers & community leaders and remote professionals exploring new ways of working and living free. / Purpose Seekers: Women looking to hit pause, connect authentically with international peers, and redefine success on their own terms.

Die "Economy of Francesco". Eine Wirtschaft im Dienst der Gesellschaft
2026-08-29 17:30 - 19:00 (Europe/Zurich) | aki Zürich, Hirschengraben 66, Zurich, Switzerland
The ‘Economy of Francesco’: An economy serving society
Lecture by Prof. Dr. Luca Crivelli
“Go and repair my house, which lies in complete ruins.” Eight hundred years ago, this call was answered by St. Francis of Assisi. In his spirit, Pope Francis invited young economists and entrepreneurs from over 100 countries to Assisi in September 2022. They pledged to “repair” today’s economy and to realize a new humanism—an Economy of Francesco. Under this name, a movement emerged that now shapes the debate on the future of capitalism and the market economy.
One particularly original idea was presented by neurobiologist Stefano Mancuso. Contrasting the current capitalist economic behavior, which is modeled on predatory animals, he proposed a botanical alternative. Faced with complex challenges such as water scarcity, air pollution, the loss of nature, biodiversity, and climate change, he asks: Who could teach us better than plants to listen to the cry of the Earth?
