Family leaders are protagonists in supporting entrepreneurship in family businesses and business families. They are institutional entrepreneurs with the commitment to facilitate the renewal of the business model and governance structures which is essential for sustainable family business success and prosperity for all stakeholders.

- Family leadership and sustainable entrepreneurship
- Family values and family business entrepreneurship
- Financing family entrepreneurship
- Socio-emotional dimensions of family entrepreneurship across generations
