 t\nThree sectors we're exploring at the Steward Square during SOFA:\n\nHou
 sing\nCan we build houses that own themselves? To make housing more partic
 ipative and affordable for generations to come\, we should redesign the ow
 nership of buildings and neighbourhoods. Together with steward-owned const
 ruction company TBI\, CrowdBuilding and others\, we explore how houses can
  own themselves.\n\nDigital autonomy\nCan we protect our vital digital inf
 rastructure? Our digital infrastructure depends heavily on big tech\, whic
 h creates systemic risks\, especially in the current geopolitical climate.
  To guarantee continuity and safety\, we should choose European alternativ
 es and protect them from hostile takeovers. At SOFA we explore how steward
  ownership can be a foundation for our digital sovereignty.\n\nHealthcare\
 nCan we make sure healthcare providers put people and purpose over profit?
  While private equity funds have a growing interest in healthcare\, stewar
 d ownership can prevent profit from being extracted at the expense of the 
 quality of care. Together with frontrunners we explore how steward ownersh
 ip gives healthcare companies the freedom to stay purpose-driven.\n\nSOFA
