It conducts research, provides education and acts as an international platform for knowledge exchange, in order to support families in business in their endeavour to combine sustainable business growth and healthy family relationships.

With more than 20 years of expertise in the unique dynamics of family enterprises, the Wendel International Centre for Family Enterprise is a leading international resource for family business.
