Marche regional observatory presents findings on family businesses

Confindustria Ancona and the Università Politecnica delle Marche have presented the initial results from a regional observatory focused on family businesses in the Marche region of Italy. The project, conducted in collaboration with AIDAF, aims to analyze the economic and employment contributions of these enterprises, their governance structures, and the challenges they face, particularly regarding generational transitions.

The observatory is part of a research and training initiative launched in 2025, which includes a university course titled ‘Strategies and Value Creation in Family Businesses’ at the university’s Department of Management. The study examined capital companies based in Marche by integrating AIDA database records with information from corporate websites to provide a detailed profile of the territory’s family-run business landscape.
