Family Business Policy Day 2026 brings together European family business leaders, policymakers, and experts for a full‑day programme focused on competitiveness, continuity, and the future of Europe’s economic landscape.
The event opens with a keynote from Jan Kornelis van Oord, President of EFB, followed by a series of high‑level panels exploring the most pressing issues shaping the environment in which family businesses operate:
- New World Order: End of the Multipolar World A discussion on rising geopolitical tensions, shifting alliances, and the implications for economic security, supply chains, and long‑term competitiveness.
- Single Market 2.0: The Path to Completion An examination of the barriers still limiting the EU Single Market and the concrete actions needed to deepen integration and reduce fragmentation.
- European Preference: Made In or With Europe? A look at Europe’s evolving industrial strategy, including “buy European” principles, strategic manufacturing, and the impact on family‑owned enterprises.
- Securing Continuity: Business Transfers for Europe’s Long‑Term Competitiveness A timely conversation on generational transitions, ahead of the European Commission’s update to its business transfer recommendations.
The day includes presentations, networking opportunities, and closing remarks from European Commission leadership (pending confirmation).
Open exclusively to family business owners, their relatives, and governance members, the event offers a unique platform to engage with EU policymakers and shape the future of Europe’s family business ecosystem.
