Securing the Future Together: New Paths for Business Succession
When the next generation is missing, many medium-sized enterprises enter a crucial phase. The workshop Reimagining Succession: How Community-Based Economies Secure the Future of Companies will demonstrate on November 11, 2026, in Bayreuth how community-supported models can open new perspectives for companies, employees, and regions.
Business Succession Beyond Traditional Models
The focus is on the challenges of generational change in medium-sized businesses: a lack of buyers, high exit sums, and the risk of having to take over a business alone. The workshop analyzes these developments professionally and presents community-based economies as a forward-looking approach.
Encouraging Practical Examples
MYZELIUM supports community-based transformation and succession processes in retail and beyond. The keynote address will cover community-funded construction projects, community-based retail, and new third places in former supermarket areas. The examples illustrate how customers, employees, and neighborhoods can take responsibility when a business faces succession questions.
From Impulse to Own Business Situation
After the presentation, there will be space for questions and discussions. Participants will then apply the presented ideas to their own business. In the collaborative working phase, initial points for individual succession planning will be developed. Thus, the event experience combines professional orientation with direct practical benefits.
A Workshop for Entrepreneurs and Succession Interested Parties
The event is aimed at owner-managed companies facing succession, potential successors, and representatives from economic development and chamber organizations. The format, part of the Economic Theme Day of RegioCOP, connects organization, event planning, and target audience engagement with vibrant exchanges about regional economic development.
Conclusion: The workshop opens new perspectives on one of the most important issues in medium-sized businesses. Those who want to learn how community-based economies can preserve businesses and make succession viable will experience a compact impulse and practical workshop in Bayreuth with concrete examples and room for their own situation.
