The 2025 Ownership Economy Summit®

October 7th, 2025

Grand Central, New York City

What is the Ownership Economy®?

The Ownership Economy is a new economic model that seeks to empower individuals by giving them greater control over their assets and data. At its core, The Ownership Economy recognizes that in today's digital age, data is a valuable commodity that is often controlled by large corporations. The ownership economy seeks to change this by giving individuals the power to own and control their data, as well as other assets such as property and intellectual property.
