The SO:27 Steward Ownership Conference is happening!
We can’t wait for SO:27 to finally take place! Sign up here to get updates straight to your inbox. For now, we look back on the SO:25: On October 9, 2025, the third major gathering of the global steward ownership ecosystem brought together entrepreneurs, investors, academics, and the simply curious to connect, learn, and grow together – because: ownership matters. It was magical:
Inspiring stories & insights – We discovered the many layers of steward ownership and aligned financing.
Current topics & critical sectors – We explored the role of (steward) ownership in some of the today’s most pressing challenges.
Global case studies – We learned from real-world examples of steward ownership and aligned financing in practice.
A full program – We had a full steward ownership week, with side events for investors, researchers, different regional communities, a steward ownership tour of Berlin companies.
A vibrant community – Entrepreneurs, investors, and thought leaders from all over the world came together to exchange valuable learnings and create synergies – and have a great time!
