Dear SPGC Community & Family Business Enthusiast,
We are thrilled to kick off this newsletter with an acknowledgment of the remarkable
success of the recent 2023 Global Family Business Summit held in Valencia,
Spain. The gathering of thought leaders, industry experts, and distinguished family
business owners led to enlightening discussions and promising new insights. Of
particular note is the newly released report on Sustainability in Family Firms,
which has been making waves across the globe. This groundbreaking work is
garnering significant worldwide attention, underscoring the integral role of family
businesses in leading sustainable development.
At the heart of these achievements is our STEP Project Global Consortium
Community. Your unwavering dedication and commitment to advancing the family
business field are what enable these successes. Our community continues to pave
the way in generating knowledge, fostering innovation, and facilitating transformative
dialogue.
As we look to the future, let us remember the words of Henry Ford: “Coming together
is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” We are
not just building a scholarship; we are cultivating a global practice, each one of us
contributing to the vibrant tapestry of family business. Thank you for your ongoing
support and dedication to enriching the family business landscape globally.
Yours sincerely,
Andrea (Calabrò)
SPGC Global Academic Director
