OUR FOCUS, THE FAMILY

As the flagship initiative for family-owned enterprises at IE University, our mission is to generate and share world-class knowledge on the challenges and drivers of success for business families, contributing to their long-term development and positive impact on society.

We are an active community of academics and experts who generate practical knowledge for the benefit of families in business, their stakeholders, and society. We believe that the great challenge is not how to achieve the survival of the business under family control, but to create value over generations. We recognize family owners and not just family business as the engine for wealth creation across generations.
