Indosuez Wealth Management, the global wealth management brand of Crédit Agricole Group, has launched the Asia edition of its next-generation programme – Indosuez Academy – which equips future business leaders with the skills to navigate the challenges and opportunities unique to family businesses.
The Asia edition, themed “Leading with Intent and Purpose”, follows the academy’s inauguration, held last year at the Insead Europe Campus in Fontainebleau, France.
Indosuez Wealth Management partnered with leading business school Insead to design the academy’s programme. The academy’s first edition in Asia was held at Insead’s Asia campus in Singapore on October 26-29.
The participants, primarily children and grandchildren of the bank’s clients, came from around the globe, including Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe and America.
Mathieu Ferragut, deputy CEO of Indosuez Wealth Management, says: “For over 150 years, Indosuez has guided global families through complex cross-generational transitions. Bringing together a diverse 2026 cohort from multiple countries, this programme is designed to cultivate strong stewardship and entrepreneurial vision. We are proud to offer these next-generation leaders a unique platform to expand their knowledge, connect with global peers, and embrace their future roles with clear purpose.”
Laurent Proutière, chief executive officer, Asia, Indosuez Wealth Management, adds: “As Asia undergoes a massive intergenerational wealth transfer, the academy’s launch in our region is very timely. Business founders are increasingly focused on succession planning, and Indosuez is committed to supporting this next generation of leaders. Through this bespoke programme, we accompany future family business leaders along their journey as they shape their vision and objectives and step up to guide their legacies.”
The programme provided an immersive curriculum that equipped participants with resilient leadership, crisis communication and governance skills to balance legacy preservation with strategic growth and innovation.
