From Access to Ownership: Expanding Ownership Beyond the Few

This session explores what it takes to expand ownership to more people.
People want ownership, whether that’s a home, a business, or access to the natural resources their livelihoods depend on. Yet more are being left out as the capital required to participate continues to rise.
Do we continue working within a system many believe is fundamentally broken, taking incremental wins where we can, or do we need to think bigger and build an entirely new economy?
Drawing on examples from cooperatives, ESOPs, and purpose-driven ownership structures, this session explores what it takes to build ownership models that don’t just open the door but keep it open for future generations and expand opportunity to more people over time.
