The Transeo Academic Awards celebrate the brightest academic minds working on one of Europe’s key economic challenges: SME transfers and business succession.

Organised by Transeo, this recurring initiative highlights outstanding research on business transfers, succession, and mergers & acquisitions, while building stronger bridges between academia and real-world practice.

Through the Awards, Transeo encourages fresh perspectives, innovative thinking, and practical insights that help better understand the challenges — and opportunities — of SME ownership transition across Europe.
