OCBC expands HNW succession programme with Hong Kong heirs

The bank partnered with SMU to offer a certificate on entrepreneurship and innovation.

OCBC has expanded its invite-only GENesis programme to include the children of high net worth (HNW) customers in Hong Kong.

The three-day programme offers networking opportunities for business leaders and foundational knowledge in financial planning, the bank said.

OCBC has also partnered with the Singapore Management University Executive Development to offer participants certification in a one-day “Entrepreneurship and Innovation Essentials” course.

This year’s programme involves 27 participants from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong. More than half of the 2026 participants come from families with at least one parent who is a business owner.

The programme aims to facilitate cross-border networking, ideas exchange and exposure to diverse perspectives on wealth, entrepreneurship and business leadership, OCBC said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
