Family Business Forum

Entrepreneurship runs in the veins of students who come from a Family Business Background. If family business connections exists, a student can build on that firm foundation and grow a new business out from the family business. Family Business Forum encourages and supports students in this path through courses, mentoring, peer network and connecting with the family business Board.
