For the next generation

Family Day
& Summit.

Simon Capital invites you to join us on Thursday, September 24 2026, in Düsseldorf, for the Simon Capital Family Day and Summit. At this year’s Family Day, we will share snapshots from our two portfolios, united by a common thread: AI and AI-resilient business models. At Simon Capital, we firmly believe that the future will be defined by those who embrace cutting-edge technology — while recognizing that emotional, high-end, and functional physical products and services will remain just as essential to the way we consume, live and work.
