Together with the Accountants Association in Poland in Greater Poland, we are the organiser of a discussion panel which will take place on 21 June 2018 at the Accountants Association in Poland in Greater Poland's headquarters (Ziębicka 18, Poznań), devoted to the topic of succession in family businesses and issues related to the instruments supporting innovative activities and new technologies in family businesses. Representatives of companies and institutions such as Wielkopolski Związek Pracodawców LEWIATAN, Fundacja Rodzinna and Fundacja Firmy Rodzinne are amongst the partners of the event. The meeting is dedicated to the owners and representatives of family businesses. During the panel, our company will be represented by Bartosz MIŁASZEWSKI, Managing Partner, as a speaker.
