Family businesses are a pillar of the Polish economy

Today, many of them are facing one of the most important challenges in their history — transferring responsibility to the next generation and adapting their operating model to a rapidly changing business environment.

The Family Business Forum will provide a space to seek answers to these challenges and to exchange experiences among family business owners, successors, representatives of family foundations, as well as legal, financial, and tax experts.

10:30 BLOCK 1. Succession

  • How to effectively plan succession in order to protect both the company and family relationships? The most common mistakes made by entrepreneurs and successors.
  • Should succession be treated as a process rather than a one-time event? How to prepare the next generation to take over responsibility for the business and establish rules of cooperation to reduce the risk of disputes?
  • Professionalization of management. When is it worth separating ownership from management and entrusting part of the responsibilities to external managers?
