Family Business: Europe’s Quest – new ways to grow responsibly in turbulent times
Berlin will be the setting for the 2022 European Family Businesses Summit.
As the global economy was slowly starting to recover from the profound effects of the pandemic, we have been hit by another unprecedented event, the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In the context of a challenging geopolitical landscape, from the 13th to the 14th of June, these epochal events, together with other salient business and political topics, like how we will enable the twin environmental and digital transitions in a balanced and workable way, will be discussed by high-level speakers from the world of politics and business, including the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the German Minister of Finance, Christian Lindner.
After two years of digital meetings, we are looking forward to seeing everyone again in Berlin for two days of face to face discussion, debate and networking.
