This year’s Module of the FEGIME Academy Management Programme (FAMP) in

Barcelona was attended by 45 next generation entrepreneurs from 12 countries –

11 of them took part in a FAMP for the first time.

After an excellent FAMP in 2018 with SDA Bocconi in Milan, the model was changed

this year to ensure an even higher level of customisation. For the first time a business

school was not directly involved. Instead FEGIME enrolled the help of Prof. Patrick

Reinmoeller as Academic Director to coordinate the week. Patrick is Professor of

Strategic Management at Cranfield University and an old friend of FEGIME.

Participants enjoyed a highly informative first day on Family Business with Prof. Stephanie

Hussels, also from Cranfield University. She began with Succession Planning. The task

for participants was to create a “family business map” to get a clear idea of …

Editorial

As the new member of the

Board of Directors, it is my

pleasant duty to write a

few lines at the turn of the

year. I would like to start

with a personal review. It

was a very successful year

for FEGIME Romania. By

gaining our new member Electroglobal, we were

able to strengthen our position in the market

extraordinarily. The Congress in Nice (Merci,

France!) and a big FEGIME Day event in Romania

complemented this development perfectly.

My personal reviewmerges herewith the analysis of

the larger picture: because we owe both the growth

and the inspiring meetings to our cooperation

within FEGIME. This is certainly also true in the

other countries of our community, which also grew

this year. In a world that currently likes to rely on

national solo efforts and strength, our unity and

cooperation is not a matter of course. In business

we see which concept promises more success

from the figures – and this is also the case now.

I will certainly be committed to promoting our

cooperation across borders as a member of the

BOD. It is not necessary to mention that challenges

such as digitalisation or climate change know no

borders.

I look forward to the coming year when we will

continue to implement our 2020+ strategy. I will

ask our young people what ideas they brought

back from the FAMP in Barcelona. Maybe we can

add some new ideas to our strategy. I wish you all

a successful and healthy New Year!
