We are pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with RAK International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC) Government of Ras Al Khaimah to establish the Family Business and Financial Intelligence Hub at the AURAK Center for Entrepreneurship.
Inspired by the vision of AURAK President, Prof. Bassam Alameddine, FRSC, this landmark initiative reinforces AURAK’s commitment to advancing knowledge, fostering innovation, and supporting the long-term success of family enterprises across the region.
The Hub will serve as a dedicated center for research, education, and thought leadership, supporting family enterprises through initiatives focused on governance, succession planning, financial literacy, and long-term sustainability. By bringing together academic excellence and industry insight, the Hub aims to help businesses navigate change, strengthen resilience, and prepare for future generations.
We extend our sincere appreciation to RAK ICC, Sandra Louw, CEO of RAK ICC and everyone involved in bringing this initiative to life. Together, we are strengthening the connection between academia and industry to support the future success of family enterprises and contribute to sustainable economic growth.
