New Website For Family Businesses
December 09, 2015 Websites
An Arabic website focused on family-owned businesses has been launched by the Tharawat Family Business Forum (TFBF).
Family Business Arabia aims to become a learning reference for family businesses, and includes stories from families across the world, interviews with business leaders, and best-practice case studies.
Farida F. El-Agamy, General Manager of the Tharawat Family Business Forum, said: “We are aware of the importance of creating Arabic content, not only to make it accessible to family business leaders of today and tomorrow, but also because it celebrates our regional heritage and the legacies which these families are working so hard to preserve.”
According to a recent survey by PWC, more than 80 per cent of the private sector in the Middle East is family-owned or managed.
The content published on the site is based on current and back issues of Tharawat Magazine, a global publication on family businesses and entrepreneurship co-founded by TFBF seven years ago.
“We recognise the importance of high quality content creation in supporting family businesses in their growth,” added Ms. El-Agamy. “Every family business holds generations of wisdom and stories and it is important to document what their struggles were and what they have achieved.”
The Tharawat Family Business Forum was established in 2006 by a number of leading Middle Eastern families and Dr. Hischam El Agamy, and is an independent, non-for-profit membership association focusing on education, research and thought leadership for owners and family members of family businesses.
