About Business Families Institute

In response to the growing needs for Asian-centric family business research and education, the Singapore Management University (SMU) established the Business Families Institute (BFI) in August 2012 to help business families build sustainable, impactful enterprises across generations. Through SMU’s core competence as a thought leader, BFI aims to strengthen the ecosystem of entrepreneurial business families and stakeholders in their creation of sustainable impact by addressing business family-specific issues such as succession, family governance, entrepreneurship and wealth management. The Institute also encourages business families to Think Generations, Think Growth, Think Giving and Think Global.
