ABOUT THE EVENT

As part of the Family Capitalism pillar of the ECGI’s Responsible Capitalism initiative, the conference focused on how family-owned enterprises can harness their long-term vision and values to achieve stronger resilience during current challenges caused by inflation, geopolitical risks, supply chain crisis, and financial constraints. Family businesses often demonstrate higher flexibility during crisis, securing jobs and supporting their local communities. The discussion revolved around the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the next generation of family business leaders, and practical guidance for family enterprises shaping the future.

The conference also focused on family firm governance issues, as the governance of family businesses is more complicated than for non-family firms because of the complex family, business and ownership relationships.

This was an in-person event. Some sessions were recorded and published afterwards.
