INVITATION
The Business Families Institute @ Singapore Management University
Warmly invite you to
BFI@SMU Family Entrepreneurship Programme (Inaugural Run)
An initiative under the V3 Group Professorship in Family Entrepreneurship
Synopsis |
In this disruptive and dynamic environment, how can families sustain their entrepreneurial spirit across generations? How can next-gen members help to address and manage family issues even before they are successors? How can they know what to invest in, and whom to invest with?
The entrepreneurial spirit is in the DNA of family enterprises. This trait stems from the Founders and shapes the business as it grows from an entrepreneurial pursuit into enduring family enterprise.
The BFI@SMU Family Entrepreneurship Programme equips participants with the tools and mindsets to undertake the challenges of family entrepreneurship in: innovation, business model transformation, succession and talent development, family governance, and strategies for investment and wealth preservation.

Invitation is open to family principals and their family members. BFI@SMU reserves the right to the acceptance of registration. The organiser will confirm your registration via email at a later date.

About BFI@SMU
Since 2010, the Singapore Management University (SMU) had recognised the emergence of Asian business families and discerned that they require specifically contextualised thought leadership and applied knowledge. In response to the growing needs of business families in Asia, SMU established the Business Families Institute (BFI) in August 2012.
BFI@SMU collaborates with various partners, academic or practice, to be a leader in Asian business family-related knowledge. The Institute also encourages business families to Think Generations, Think Growth, Think Giving and Think Global. In doing so, BFI@SMU addresses business family-specific issues such as succession, family governance, entrepreneurship and wealth management. The mission of BFI@SMU is to enable business family members to be engaged and responsible stewards of their families, businesses and communities, through education, research and ecosystem support.
