Trust for a transforming generation
The capabilities and strategies that drive business success are changing. Our 2022 Global NextGen Survey reveals that 72% of your peers expect to play a role in increasing their family enterprise’s focus on investing in sustainability in the future. This – alongside other emerging challenges – will demand new skills, qualifications and approaches.
PwC NextGen is here to encourage you to think beyond the Âtraditional MBA, by providing you with an exclusive and inclusive Âstrategic network and a broad range of multidisciplinary learning opportunities through Connect. Learn. Lead.
Join us Âto explore the tactics, tools and processes that can make the Âdifference between faltering and flourishing in times of difficulty and disruption. Together we will master the common threads – Âincluding the ability to earn and maintain trust – that define those companies that are able to build resilience and emerge stronger from a crisis.

Join PwC NextGen
Our latest Global NextGen Survey titled Today and beyond: The next generation challenges the status quo of family business heard from more than 1,000 next generation members of family businesses across 68 countries and regions. The results provided some great news: how the pandemic has united the generations around a common goal - driving growth to secure the stability of the business and the family. We’ve learned that the next generation is well-equipped with traditional skills, including finance, management and business administration. But leadership today requires new approaches and competencies. Embracing diversity and developing new talents will be essential ingredients if next-generation members are to establish their leadership style, make their mark and build their own legacy.
Investments and deals are a cornerstone of wealth and asset strategy, especially in these times of change. PwC’s Family Office Deals Study underlines that family offices and private investors have been steadily growing in relevance in this space and are competing with institutional investors and private equity houses more and more. It also shows that Europe has rapidly become the main stage where this shift is taking place, underlining that the continent’s attractiveness to domestic and foreign investors stems from investor’s desire to deal in shared values, long-term perspectives and focus on predictability and stability.
