Family Business forum to address key strategies for internationalisation

Recent studies underscore the importance of solid succession and financial planning for family businesses aiming to expand internationally.

The 2024 European Family Business Survey revealed that 72 per cent of family businesses with strong succession and financial planning actively pursue internationalisation. Another study conducted in 2023 had also found that 50% of successful international ventures stemmed from structured leadership transitions and diversified investment, underscoring the importance of robust planning for global growth.

In line with the above findings, Ganado Advocates and Zampa Debattista are co-hosting the second edition of their Family Business Forum on November 7, 2024, at the Corinthia Palace Hotel, Attard.

Under the theme “Navigating Change and Going Global,” this half-day seminar will bring together experts, business leaders, and professionals to discuss critical issues that influence the sustainability and growth of family businesses.

In response to the evolving global business landscape, this year’s forum will focus on strategies to help family enterprises expand internationally while maintaining their legacy.

Key discussions will address topics such as effective succession planning, international market entry, and the importance of adaptability in a globalised economy.

The event will feature a mix of panel discussions, a keynote presentation, and a special interview segment led by Max Ganado, Consultant at Ganado Advocates, designed to offer practical strategies for internationalisation.
