For the second time family businesses from Poland and abroad will meet online on May 24 - 28 for the Family Business Week organised by the Family Business Institute. The theme of this year's meeting is - Global Business _Local Family - sustainable development in not obvious in difficult times. So important now because, as Dr. Adrianna Lewandowska, President of the Family Business Institute says: No other form of entrepreneurship is so firmly anchored in society. The triad typical of family businesses, which consists of economic success, social responsibility and local patriotism, makes family business have a unique organizational culture with a more humanistic, value-based dimension. Running a family business is a great art, but also a great opportunity. It can strengthen both the business and the family.

 

Family Business Week is five days of online meetings, full of substance, emotions and mutual interaction and exchange of experience. Top experts from around the world will share their experience, support and best practices for both business and the family.

 

The agenda for the daily meetings has been designed based on the needs and expectations of business families, who often face current challenges and difficulties. Each day of Family Business Week will be related to one of five key areas: knowledge, power, ownership, values and vision, which should be taken care of by every business family that cares about the longevity of the company. Starting in the morning there will be expert speakers and meetings with owners of great family businesses from around the world. And in the evenings, there will be expert evenings where experts will take a look at current events in the business and family world.
