About

Family businesses are the driving force behind a strong economy. They form the foundation of our economy and society. However, they are facing massive challenges:

Digitalization

Many family businesses are falling behind when it comes to digitalization. In order to remain competitive, committed managers, smart products, automated processes and digital business models are needed: no company can avoid technological development.

Sustainability

Family businesses are already committed to their employees, the environment and their region, but in many cases these are selective and not strategically interlinked initiatives.

Demographic change

SMEs are perceived as comparatively less innovative and less attractive as employers. In addition, 600,000 successions are due by 2028, but only 60,000 p.a. will be solved effectively.

Our network, which is unique in Europe, connects leading industrial companies, founders, researchers and investors and thus creates a constructive exchange in a trusting environment - tailored to each family business. Based on the values that move us collectively: Drive, responsibility, confidence.
