How do we shift the dominant narratives of capital and economic performance towards regeneration?

Underway
Melbourne Invests in Systemic Transformation (MIST) is a platform for events, papers and active dialogue designed to shift how we coordinate financial flows toward systemic change, exploring how we can redefine value, returns and economic performance in the process. This series will examine how capital can move beyond linear transactions and siloed actors toward systemic transformation within communities and across our city. By connecting a community of local and global capital holders, fund managers and thought leaders, MIST grounds emerging innovation and global conversations in the Greater Melbourne context, highlighting how new approaches can generate regenerative outcomes for a Swimmable Birrarung, Nourished Neighbourhoods and 300,000 Streets across Greater Melbourne. Through this work MIST seeks to influence dominant investment narratives and cultivate the ecosystem required to build the future financial infrastructure and markets our city needs.
We facilitate and co-develop conversations and resources that seek to catalyse the coordination of capital towards systemic change - curating learning papers, events and conversations to mobilise capital in service of place, align actors, and shape Melbourne's dialogue for regenerative economic and financial systems.

We continue to share learnings, tools and dialogue on systemic investment and regenerative finance across Greater Melbourne and beyond. Our first 2026 webinars are launching, papers are being developed with partners and workshops are being had. If you are an investors, practitioner or researchers, we invite you to join, reach out and collaborate in shaping the new infrastructure and language of capital flows for Greater Melbourne.
