"Our chair focuses on family businesses, which account for over 50% of GDP, and 40 to 50% of jobs in Europe. They also represent the majority of businesses worldwide. They are not restricted to businesses owned and run by 2 or 3 family members, but they also span to those controlled by several family branches with hundreds of shareholders at the head of empires listed in stock exchange" - Rania Labaki
