The Apurva Kempinski Bali announces the return of Path to Sustainable Growth 2026, its fourth annual sustainability summit, set to take place on 24 June 2026 at Candi Ballroom. Carrying the theme 'Regenerate for the Future', this year’s edition marks the summit’s evolution from a sustainability dialogue into a broader platform for regenerative action across industries. Building on the resort’s position as the first hotel in Indonesia to receive GSTC certification, Path to Sustainable Growth 2026 expands its focus beyond tourism to address sustainability as a shared responsibility across hospitality, finance, agriculture, education, the creative economy, and other key sectors. The summit is designed to bring together leaders, practitioners, innovators, students, and sustainability-driven organisations to exchange knowledge, strengthen collaboration, and shape solutions with long-term relevance.
 

To build momentum of the high demand and appreciation in 2025, which united over 250 industry professionals and practitioners, the 2026 edition transforms dialogue into measurable impact. The programme is structured around four strategic pillars: Repurposing, Refreshing Lives, Regenerating, and Rethinking Resources. Path to Sustainable Growth 2026 is designed as a premier platform for cross-industry collaboration. The summit recognises that the challenges of the future cannot be solved in isolation.

The impact of the movement extends far beyond the final panel. Seeds of Change is an eight-week mentorship and incubation programme within Path to Sustainable Growth (PTSG) 2026 - created to discover, develop, and fund Indonesia’s most promising students and early-stage startups working at the intersection of regenerative tourism and sustainable innovation. The programme extends PTSG beyond a one-day summit into a sustained impact platform, while identifying future talents who can carry the regenerative mission forward. 

The programme launched in May with an open call, inviting student teams and early-stage startups to submit their CVs and essays as part of the grant application process. In June, ten shortlisted applicants will be selected to attend the summit and join an eight-week incubation programme. Running from July through August, shortlisted participants will take part in a structured curriculum covering mentorship, business development, sustainability strategy, and impact refinement. The programme will culminate in August with a final business plan submission — developed as a continuation of participants' initial essays and incubation journey — followed by the announcement of winners. Grants will be awarded to the top two teams, with the first-place winner receiving IDR 50 million and the second-place winner receiving IDR 20 million.
