About the Summit
About the Family Business Summit
Strengthening Family Enterprise Across Generations
The Family Business Summit brings together family-owned businesses, government, financiers, and local and international experts to address a defining challenge in Eswatini's economy — that family businesses too often fail to survive beyond their founder. Now in its third year, the Summit equips owners and successors with the governance, succession, and growth practices that allow family enterprises to endure.
