According to Kensington Palace, the event focused on how business investment in early childhood can develop essential human skills required for future workforce success during an era of significant technological advancement. The initiative aims to benefit more than one million babies and young children by 2026.
The Princess delivered an impassioned address about her dedication to early years education and the significance of establishing connections with future generations.
She opened the proceedings with remarks about her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood's fundamental mission.
"My passion and the work of The Centre for Early Childhood stems from one essential truth: that the love we feel in our earliest years fundamentally shapes who we become and how we thrive as adults," Kate told the assembled business leaders.

The mother-of-three founded the Business Taskforce in March 2023, demonstrating unwavering dedication to what has been characterised as her life's work.
Royal insiders revealed that she remained the driving force behind a major Early Years report during her chemotherapy treatment last year, staying informed about every aspect despite her illness.
The Taskforce has introduced multiple initiatives, including funding for early years apprenticeships, leadership programmes, enhanced support for baby banks, and the creation of family-friendly spaces.
In August, Kate collaborated with her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood to develop animated short films designed for professionals and volunteers supporting families.
Tomorrow evening, the Princess will join Prince William at the Royal Albert Hall for the Royal Variety Performance, where the couple will appear as guests of honour at the annual black-tie celebration.
