Family Business Training Programs and initiatives
ACT ACTWe strive to favor family businesses transmission, scale and entrepreneurial spirit. We encourage family talents, true entrepreneur-rebuilders, to take up the baton, grow family businesses and drive innovation, specifically by offering them mentorship and support through our incubators and accelerators.
Through publications, testimonials and events, we foster dialogue and strengthen ties among family businesses in Europe—particularly France and Germany— while building connections with global partners to share insights and learn from diverse approaches to governance and longevity.
We aspire to be a place where researchers, students, family talents and policymakers come together to strengthen the economic and societal impact of this vital ecosystem.
