MINIBOSS BUSINESS SCHOOL (CHISINAU)

Every year, leading entrepreneurs from five continents who are interested in developing business connections, studying and supporting innovation, establishing new trade missions, and shaping a global business civilisation gather at GLOBAL BUSINESS WEEK — an international platform for a series of business forums and strategic corporate retreats.

GLOBAL BUSINESS WEEK 2026 is the world’s leading arena for business diplomacy. It is a next-generation format: a trade initiative, an entrepreneurial diplomacy platform, and a continuously operating ecosystem of international business connections, where entrepreneurs gain access not only to knowledge and networking, but also to practical tools for entering the global arena.

In 2026, GLOBAL BUSINESS WEEK will take place in Davos, Switzerland, from 9 to 17 July. According to the official event page, the programme includes the Davos Business Forum, Startup World Cup Championship, Global Education Forum, Global Country Day, World Woman Forum, Family Business Retreat, and children’s and youth entrepreneurship programmes in the Startup Camp format from the world’s leading business schools, MiniBoss & BigBoss Business Schools. The Davos website also states that GBW 2026 expects hundreds of participants from more than 40 countries and is positioned as an international platform for cooperation, cultural exchange, and economic dialogue (gbw.forum-expo.org).

Family Business Retreats: Why Children Are the Key Participants in Your Strategy

A family business retreat is not just a holiday and not just a conference. It is a specially designed space where the family steps away from operational routine in order to align personal values with business goals.

When we speak about “strong descendants,” we mean not only heirs to capital, but well-rounded individuals with eight developed types of intelligence — from PhQ to SQ. The presence of children at such retreats is not a “burden,” but a critically important element of the educational process.

1. Immersion in Context: Education Through Osmosis

Children do not learn only from textbooks; they learn by observing the behaviour of significant adults. At a retreat, they see their parents not as “household controllers,” but as strategists, thinkers and leaders.

Mental Intelligence (IQ): By observing brainstorming sessions, children learn to structure their thoughts and analyse complex situations.

Entrepreneurial Intelligence (XQ): They begin to understand that money is the result of creative activity and strategic planning, not just numbers on a bank card.
