Finance IE Talk in Frankfurt: Who Will Own the Mittelstand Next?
The rise of Europe’s succession economy in an age of AI, volatility, and durable capital.
As business owners retire, AI transforms operating models, and market volatility reshapes investment priorities, one of the most pressing questions for business leaders and investors is no longer what companies will be built—but who will own, finance, and transform the businesses that already exist.
Join (Newton Equitly Partners & IE University), together with (SAP & IE University), for an engaging discussion on the future of the Mittelstand and the forces redefining ownership, entrepreneurship, and value creation across Europe.
The evening will feature a panel discussion with industry experts, followed by a networking cocktail, bringing together finance executives, investors, entrepreneurs, IE alumni, and prospective master's students interested in the future of finance, private markets, and AI-driven business transformation.
Whether you're an experienced professional, an IE alumnus looking to reconnect with the community, or considering the next step in your career through an IE master's program, this event offers a unique opportunity to gain fresh insights and expand your network.
