The mission statement of the Family Business Network Ireland is tellingly appropriate for challenging times: ‘By families, for families, across generations.’ 

 As the network organisation for experiential learning, mutual support and advocacy for and on behalf of Irish families in business, FBN exists to connect people who share an interest and concern for the growth and sustainability of this key economic sector.
