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

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
