10 Years of the Family Business Center & the Family Business Forum

This year we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Family Business Center, and in March we marked the occasion with the #ForumFamilienunternehmen, attended by over 250 participants at the Stadtforum of the BTV Vier Länder Bank. Gerhard Drexel’s keynote speech was followed by a panel discussion with Eduard Fröschl, Daniela Gruber, Evelyn Kirchmaier and Alexander Rieper on the opportunities and challenges facing family businesses. Thank you to all the speakers for their valuable insights.
