    New Year Event 2026 - AI & the Transformation of Our Industry by Guberna & Euronext

    As the theme of this year’s conference was “AI and the Transformation of Our Industry,” we wanted to reflect that not only in the discussions on stage, but also in how we share the insights afterwards. Listen to this short podcast created with the support of AI, synthesising the key ideas, perspectives and debates from the evening. Hosted by Rose and Tom - colleagues of our AI-moderator Warren at the event - the podcast offers a concise and accessible recap of what was shared, and what it may mean going forward. We hope you enjoy this experiment in AI in practice as much as we enjoyed the conversation itself.

    30 Years GUBERNA - "People make the difference" - 5 top board members on the future of governance

    During the evening segment of the Festival of Governance, held to mark its 30th anniversary, GUBERNA organized a panel discussion with some of the country’s most experienced board members and executives. Their message was clear: the foundations of good governance remain solid, but the way boards operate must change fundamentally.

    30 Years GUBERNA - Family Business Governance

    Family businesses form the foundation of our economy. They account for 80% of all Belgian companies. Yet they also face significant challenges: succession across generations, attracting and retaining talent, and financing growth in a capital market experiencing turbulent times. In this workshop, we explore how governance can serve as a lever. Structures such as a family forum, a board of directors, or external management help channel emotions and make strategy more objective.

    30 Years GUBERNA - Innovative governance trends

    Today, governance is a balancing act between fulfilling core responsibilities on the one hand and driving renewal towards greater agility, openness, and resilience on the other. The world around us is changing at a breakneck pace. Disruption is no longer just a buzzword. Engaging in innovation is a must, but how do we reconcile this with traditional governance models, where the board of directors often acts more as a brake than as a driver?

    30 Years GUBERNA - Public Shareholdership

    The future of our public enterprises stands or falls with good governance. This raises the question: if the government becomes a less incidental or a more strategic shareholder in the current climate, will existing governance practices in public enterprises endure? In this interactive session, we address three key questions: do shareholders and directors truly understand why they are at the table? Are they sufficiently prepared to carry out their mandate with expertise and courage? And how do they concretely fulfil this role while balancing discretion and accountability?

    30 Years GUBERNA - Cybersecurity

    Cybersecurity is now at the top of boards’ agendas. It is no longer confined to IT alone, but sits at the heart of strategy, culture, and risk management. In this interactive session, directors and experts will discuss how boards can structurally embed cyber governance - a crucial new role for boards in a high-risk landscape.

    30 Years GUBERNA - Future of the Workforce

    What does tomorrow’s workforce expect from today’s leadership? The labour market is changing faster than ever, and employees are presenting increasingly new and diverse expectations to their employers. How can companies continue to respond to these demands? And what role do DEI principles play in this? Are they a strategic lever or just a buzzword? Six experts discussed these questions during the “30 Years GUBERNA – Festival of Governance.” Here, you can discover the key insights from that conversation.

  8. 30 Years GUBERNA - Future generations shaping the agenda

    12/09/2025

    30 Years GUBERNA - Future generations shaping the agenda

    Different generations bring their own perspectives to the boardroom, which can spark sharper discussions and more balanced decisions, if these differences are truly embraced. Traditional rules on good governance are being challenged: age alone doesn’t say much. What matters are skills, viewpoints, and whether a board makes room for new voices. Adding a younger member is one thing, but how do you make sure they actually make a difference? Panelists Denis Zenner, Béatrice de Mahieu, Hans De Cuyper, Griet Aerts, Sophie Stegen, Saartje Verbeke, and Louis Jonckheere shared their experiences on how generations, shareholders or not, interact and influence board dynamics.
