The 4th Asia-Pacific Social Innovation Summit, themed "Investing Asia: Creating a Sustainable and Resilient New Era," aimed to encourage cross-sector partners to take concrete actions in the field of social innovation and promote the values of environmental, social, and economic well-being. It also sought to establish a platform for communication and matchmaking between organizations of different types, bringing energy to the development of social innovation in Taiwan, creating a friendly environment, and exporting Taiwan's experience overseas.

 
Highlights of this summit:

-Integrating a Gender Perspective with SDG Goal 5: The summit's agenda incorporates a gender perspective into the discussions on various aspects such as climate change, financial strategies, and political participation. The integration of a gender perspective into global issues has become a trend, and this summit focuses on topics related to gender equality and women's empowerment to highlight Taiwan's efforts in this area.
 
-Combining Online and Offline Participation: To adapt to the challenges posed by the pandemic and to connect with Taiwan's local culture, the summit hosted 23 events over two days, featuring 79 well-known speakers from 19 countries. These events covered impact investing and 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including three keynote speeches, three workshops, 12 parallel forums, two fireside chats, two highlight platforms, and one high-level roundtable forum. In addition, there were peripheral events such as the "Young Changemakers Night," "Social Innovation Market," and "Social Innovation Field Trips." These activities aimed to promote collaboration and interactions within the community focused on sustainable development and social innovation. The summit saw a physical attendance of 1,256 people, with 1,506 viewers on the online live streaming platform, 185 attendees at the "Young Changemakers Night," 2,674 visitors to the "Social Innovation Market," and 65 participants in the "Social Innovation Field Trips." In total, 5,686 individuals joined the summit.

-In alignment with the theme "Investing Asia," the summit translates social innovation into tangible actions. For the first time, the summit introduced "Highlight Platforms," calling upon three social innovation entrepreneurship teams that have been working on women's empowerment and youth-related issues. These teams are part of the 4th Asia Pacific Social Innovation Summit held in 2021, and they are engaging in entrepreneurship presentations as part of a social innovation accelerator program. This platform provides these teams with more opportunities to be noticed by potential investors and gain access to capacity-building resources.
