About Family Business Network 

FBN (Family Business Network) is a global not-for-profit membership organization headquartered in Switzerland, comprising 33 member associations spanning 65 countries on 5 continents, 4,500 business families and 20,000 individual members, of which 8,000 are NxGs. For over 35 years, FBN has helped enterprising families grow, succeed, and prosper through the exchange of best practices and innovative ideas. Being by families for families, FBN provides a unique environment where business families can learn from each other. FBN is an inclusive organization that welcomes all business family members. We are a community of communities developing programs tailored to the wide needs and interests of its members including by generation, role, and topic. Our six communities include Next Generations, Now Generations, Entrepreneurs, Large Families, Family Office and Impact.

The Family Office Community
In 2020, we inaugurated the FBN Family Office community, dedicated to supporting forward-thinking families as they extend their focus beyond their traditional business legacies.
As they continue to work together beyond these evolutions, family owners face challenges both on the family and the business side, FBN offers them a safe platform to discuss

• The family side of family office: succession planning, education of the Next Gen, family cohesion, entrepreneurial spirit, family compensation, philanthropy, concierge services, etc

• The Business side of family office: wealth planning and management, diversification, active investing, non-family talent, impact investment

The Impact Community
FBN Impact works with our community of leading business families to create a positive impact in the world and build a lasting legacy across generations. We do this by fostering pathways for systemic change through responsible business transformation, impact investing, philanthropy and advocacy. Since launching our first sustainability initiative in 2014, our community has partnered with many thought leading organizations to develop content that supports business families on their journeys to thrive and transform. We are now building on these efforts by working closely with all of our Chapters to build a global community of impact leaders, further supporting collaboration between our members as they move from learning to collective action, developing frameworks that help facilitate change, and providing thought leadership that inspires other families to take action.
