Program

As family business members, NxGs are born owners; even without holding company shares (yet), they bear the responsibility of safeguarding the family’s values, legacy, and reputation. This reality is often taken for granted, ignoring the fact that ownership resides at the core of a family enterprise, intricately weaving expectations, responsibilities, and aspirations.

What does owning the unknown mean?
In today's landscape, responsible family owners need to navigate unknown challenges by handling privilege and sacrifice, embracing diversity, and driving meaningful impact. In this edition of the NxG International Summit, we will delve into ownership, embarking on a journey to uncover the depths of family businesses.

Saturday 1st June

Louwman Museum, The Hague

Over 80 years ago the Louwman family recognised the importance of the motor car and decided to keep the highlights of motoring history so far for future generations. The Louwman Museum in fact dates back to 1934. Since then they have regularly added vehicles and over the years have gradually refined the collection. Today there are over 275 historic and classic motor cars in our museum. We do not aim to be all-encompassing – the motor industry has produced far too many cars over the past 130 years for that to be feasible. What we have done is compile a well-balanced collection of motor vehicles with a view to presenting a clear and fascinating overview of the history of the motor car.

Friday 31st May
