The Foundation for Family Businesses and Politics supports family businesses in a variety of ways. The business environment of family businesses is changing more dramatically than ever before. Globalisation, a shortage of skilled workers, digital transformation, security measures for individuals and businesses (e.g. cyber security), public and social media perceptions, and the political conditions in Germany, Europe and the world are just a few of the challenges that family businesses have to face. The Foundation for Family Businesses and Politics advocates for their interests in the areas of law, taxes, security as well as economic policy in a forward-looking manner. It is also available to journalists, economists and politics as a contact and information provider. Furthermore, the Foundation intensifies the exchange of knowledge and ideas between family entrepreneurs on a German, European and international level.
