How can private equity contribute to global development and increased competitiveness of family firms?

This interactive session discussed how private equity firms can help family firms prosper and become more competitive globally. It combined rigorous academic research with direct experience of a private equity firm in order to explore the various avenues for growth offered by private equity partners. From offering international growth opportunities to improving corporate governance practices to strengthening the company base to making significant capital investments, private equity firms are able to foster growth and help companies stay ahead of their competitors to a much greater degree than many family firms can achieve on their own.
