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.
