The Dubai Centre for Family Businesses (DCFB), which operates under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, has announced the launch of the Dubai Centre for Family Businesses E-library.
The online portal, developed in cooperation with the Family Enterprise Foundation (FEF), provides access to almost 2,000 resources, including videos, webinars, articles, podcasts, interactive activities, research reports, and infographics.
It was noted that key regional information is also offered, together with a selection of blended learning programmes designed specifically for family enterprises.
This E-library launch follows the signing of an agreement with the Family Enterprise Foundation to license the use of its resources.
The Dubai Centre for Family Businesses launched in May last year and aims to ensure the growth and sustainability of family businesses in Dubai.
Since its 2023 launch, it has put forward a series of programmes, including:
-The Dubai Family Businesses Leadership Programme, developed in partnership with the Mohammed bin Rashid Centre for Leadership Development,
-The Next Generation Training Programme,
-The Governance Series and
-The Advisors’ Certification Programme.
These programmes are aimed at preparing new leaders, educating family members on key issues, and fostering the growth of family businesses.
The centre has also issued a comprehensive set of toolkits to support family-owned enterprises, which assist companies in designing and developing governance frameworks for a smooth succession process.
