OUR FOCUS, THE FAMILY

We are an active community of academics and experts who generate cutting-edge and 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.

On the basis of this uniqueness:

We conduct research on the distinctive aspects of business families, their challenges, and the keys to their success.
Through training programs and outreach activities, we transfer the knowledge generated to help business families members become responsible shareholders, guarantors of family legacy, and ready to meet future challenges.
