SGI Global Partners Expands International Business Series Into AI for 2027

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, October 5, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- SGI Global Partners, a Vancouver-based boutique family office and strategic advisory firm, has announced an expansion of its popular International Business series, adding a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) for 2027. The series, which has been running for more than two years and has published over 100 articles, will continue to offer valuable insights for mid-market business owners, family office executives, and entrepreneurs.

Scott Gelbard, the Founder and CEO of SGI Global Partners, has been at the helm of the series since its inception. With more than 25 years of experience advising businesses across North America, Europe, and Asia, Gelbard brings a wealth of knowledge to the series. The new focus on AI is part of a broader effort to help business owners navigate the rapidly changing landscape of international markets, trade policies, and technological advancements.

The series will now cover five new areas in 2027, including AI, cybersecurity, succession planning, tariffs and trade realignment, and private credit and alternative capital. These topics are designed to address the challenges and opportunities that mid-market owners face as they look to expand their businesses internationally.

The new focus on AI is particularly relevant as the technology continues to reshape how companies operate. The series will provide practical guidance on how mid-market owners can use AI to sharpen their strategy, run leaner operations, and gain an edge in mergers and acquisitions and capital raising. The articles will offer actionable insights and case studies to help business owners understand the potential benefits and risks of AI implementation.

Cybersecurity and data risk will also be a key focus, with articles addressing the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and how to prepare for potential breaches. The series will explore the implications of a single breach on a company's value and the steps boards and owners can take to mitigate risks.

Succession planning will be another important topic, as the transfer of family wealth is already underway. The series will provide guidance on how founders and families can plan leadership handovers and protect generational wealth as trillions of dollars change hands over the next decade.

Tariffs and trade realignment will be covered to help owners understand the impact of shifting trade policies on cross-border growth, supply chains, and market entry decisions. The series will provide insights on how to navigate the complexities of international trade and make informed decisions.

Finally, the series will explore the role of private credit and alternative capital in providing growth capital for mid-market companies. This will include discussions on how to access capital beyond traditional bank lending and the benefits of private credit funds and family office co-investment.

The International Business series will continue to publish a new article every week throughout 2027. Readers can access the series at scottgelbard.com and sgiglobal.partners, as well as on Medium and LinkedIn. The series is expected to provide valuable guidance and insights for business owners as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of the global business landscape.
