MENA Family Owned Business: The Future of Business

Family is the keyword in family business. From the statistics of Family Firm Institute, only 30% of family businesses move into the second generation, 12% into the third generation and an alarming number of 3% survives into the fourth generation and beyond. Especially in the Middle East, where the tradition and culture varies from the rest of the world, the numbers fall shorter.

In this post oil era, the dynamics of the economy and business has changed. The next generation might be unprepared and take over the wheels and steer the business in the initial planned route. How can we, as the family, and as the core of the business ensure the continuity?

Join us at the MENA Family Owned Business Conference, 6th – 7th February 2017 in Dubai, UAE that will host discussion and address top challenges on family owned business in the region by covering themes The Governance Code, Emotional Intelligence Factor, The Conundrum of Succession Planning and A Private Affair Going Public.

Do not miss the opportunity to meet family business leaders and business experts that will provide great insights to GCC family business sustainability.
