Indosuez launches Asia programme for family business leaders
Indosuez Wealth Management has launched the Asia edition of its Indosuez Academy, a programme aimed at preparing the next generation of family business leaders for succession and management roles.
The four-day programme was held at INSEAD’s Singapore campus from Oct. 26 to 29, 2026, with participants drawn primarily from the children and grandchildren of Indosuez clients. The participants came from Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas.
Indosuez developed the programme with INSEAD, with this year’s Asia edition focused on “Leading with Intent and Purpose.” The curriculum covered leadership, crisis communication and governance, with an emphasis on balancing family-business legacy with growth and innovation.
The programme follows the inaugural Indosuez Academy, which was held at INSEAD’s Europe campus in Fontainebleau, France, last year.
Indosuez said the launch comes as Asian family businesses face an increase in intergenerational wealth transfers and succession planning. Laurent Proutière, chief executive officer for Asia at Indosuez Wealth Management, said founders were increasingly focused on preparing successors to take over their businesses.
Mathieu Ferragut, deputy CEO of Indosuez Wealth Management, said the programme was intended to help participants develop their approach to leadership and prepare for their future roles in family businesses.
Antoine Duvauchelle, programme director at INSEAD, said the course gave participants an opportunity to challenge their assumptions and consider how the lessons could be applied to their own businesses and family circumstances.
