Stewardship and scale are twin driving forces in the growth journey of founder- and family-led businesses. Yet one of the greatest challenges enterprising families face is how to accelerate growth and professionalise their operations and governance—without compromising their long term identity, core values, and control.
As the business landscape evolves amid macroeconomic shifts, geopolitical tensions, and the rise of generative AI technologies, the long-term horizon for family enterprises is being reshaped. Many are now searching for innovative strategic directions and business models for continuity and success across generations.
In this transformation, private capital owners have emerged as strategic allies. Beyond providing funding, they increasingly help families innovate, scale with purpose across markets, and strengthen their competitive edge—futureproofing the family legacy through sustained value creation.
The success of such partnerships, however, is far from guaranteed. It demands mutual alignment, shared intention, and effective governance to deliver enduring, win win outcomes in an increasingly complex environment where agility and stewardship must coexist.
Hosted by INSEAD Wendel International Centre for Family Enterprise, the exclusive INSEAD Family Enterprise Summit will bring together academic experts and leading practitioners to explore critical questions shaping family-private capital partnerships through five key themes:

Innovation, Growth, and Resilience in Family Enterprises
How can family businesses innovate, grow, and stay resilient amid shifting markets and generational transitions?
Strategic Engagement with Private Capital
When and why do family businesses partner with private capital or equity providers, and what drives these strategic decisions?
Evaluating and Attracting the Right Investment Partnerships
How can family enterprises identify aligned investors, build strong relationships, and optimise their strategic options?
Governance and Long-Term Value Creation
What are the different governance frameworks that foster alignment and value-creation among diverse ownership structures in family firms
Next-Generation Leadership and Succession Readiness
How can families nurture leadership continuity and smooth transitions to next generation leaders?

The Summit will highlight how leading business families are taking diverse strategic paths to thrive across generations—leveraging private capital to achieve sustainable growth while upholding stewardship and purpose. The agenda will address evolving ownership models, next generation leadership dynamics, and the alignment of capital, culture, and long term vision.
The Summit is open to members in family enterprises. To foster an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality under the Chatham House Rule, participation by third party advisers will be limited and by invitation only through a participating family business member.
May we encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure your seat and book your hotel accommodation early as demand is high during this period.
