However\, one of the main challenges for family businesses is succession. It is becoming more complex due to changes in family\, management and governance systems. Sound governance reduces conflicts of interest\, maintains family harmony\, and creates value for all stakeholders. \nBusiness transfer is a critical milestone in the life of many family businesses that with the ageing of the population of entrepreneurs becomes even more acute. Additionally\, in the Central and Eastern European markets\, the first generation of entrepreneurs is nearing retirement\, which means that for many firms in these countries the transfer of family business stock happens for the first time. \nTo address these issues\, one of the priorities mentioned in the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan of the European Commission is “easing business transfers”\, for example\, through reducing cross-border inheritance tax obstacles\, improving information and advice services\, and other initiatives. Likewise\, stock exchanges are attempting to ease obstacles for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)\, which are predominantly family-owned\, to raise capital through public markets.  The conference will examine these tendencies. \n  \n
