The future in view
With regard to the coming years, many family businesses could be decisive in 2025. They are required not only to invest in technologies such as artificial intelligence, but also to develop sustainable strategies.

The KPMG analysis emphasizes that clear ESG strategies (Environmental, Social and Governance) are becoming more and more important, since large corporations demand sustainability evidence from their suppliers.
In Austria in particular, the exchange between family businesses and interested start-ups is becoming increasingly important in order to develop innovative solutions for the challenges with which the economy is confronted.
