Brewing Family Legacy: Built to Last
Inside the walls of Bavaria Brewery: where family, entrepreneurship and generations come together. Not every entrepreneur builds a legacy. What separates those who do? Join us at Bavaria Brewery to find out.
Bavaria Brouwerij is more than a beer brand, it is a story of five generations of family business, perseverance, and entrepreneurial courage. On September 23rd, IBS and Carbon Equity invite you to an exclusive evening at no place other than this iconic location.
We bring together a select group of entrepreneurs, family offices, and investors who understand that real value is built across generations.
We are pleased to announce that Gijs Swinkels, CCO at Royal Swinkels, will join us and will share his story.
Gijs Swinkels is CCO at Royal Swinkels, representing the seventh generation of the Swinkels family. Gijs is known for his connecting leadership style: results-driven, but always with an eye for people and collaboration. With his outspoken passion for beer, family businesses and sustainable growth, he plays a key role in further strengthening the international position of Royal Swinkels.
