"Many Chinese clans and associations encounter challenges when it comes to identifying the next generation of successors. Having personally witnessed the transformative impact of the S.M.A.R.T Entrepreneurship Program, I have seen how it equips participants from various backgrounds, including listed companies like SiS International Holdings and MoneyMax Group, as well as family businesses like Neptune Work Wear. The program empowers them to explore new business ventures and undergo vital business transformations. Through real-time business sharing, the program fulfills the aspirations of first-generation entrepreneurs who aim to expand their business domains. Simultaneously, second-generation entrepreneurs eagerly seek insights and experiences from seasoned business leaders to propel the growth of their family enterprises.

This collaboration presents invaluable opportunities for Chinese clans and associations to identify and groom the next generation of successors.This collaboration has proven highly effective in attracting and nurturing the future clan association successors. It provides them with invaluable business opportunities and resources to enhance their business skills and leadership abilities, ensuring a strong foundation for their future endeavors.”
