Architects of Tomorrow: Rethinking Succession in MENA Family Enterprises

As we look toward the future of family enterprises in the MENA region, one thing is clear: the voices of the next-generation are essential to navigating the complexities of the 21st century.

The Tharawat Family Business Forum was delighted to launch the “Architects of Tomorrow: Rethinking Succession in MENA Family Enterprises” report developed in partnership with LGT (Middle East) Ltd.

The event introduced key report insights through a panel discussion featuring NextGen leaders from regional family enterprises who contributed to the report. Drawing on their personal experiences and challenges, the discussion explored successful next-generation contribution, succession frameworks, and intergenerational collaboration. The second panel discussion with family enterprise leaders explored how to build the infrastructure for a positive succession culture, highlighting the frameworks, practices, and intergenerational dynamics that support successful transitions.

The session concluded with an open exchange, inviting participants to reflect on their own journeys and consider how the next generation can shape the future of their family enterprises while preserving their long-term legacy.
