About the Institute

We work to promote democratic workplaces that ensure a fairer distribution of wealth and contribute to a sustainable, resilient, and competitive economy.

By promoting best practices in employee ownership and workplace participation, we aim to strengthen the economy, advance sustainable development, and support ownership models that primarily reward people’s work, knowledge, and ideas.

Our vision

How we achieve our goals

KNOWLEDGE CENTRE

In countries where employee ownership benefits from institutional support, it tends to grow and generate positive economic and social outcomes. At the Institute, we develop advocacy campaigns, study best practices, and formulate policy proposals that make it easier for companies to transition to employee ownership.

WORK WITH COMPANIES - solastnik.si

We guide and support companies through the transition to new ownership models. Our services include financial analysis, legal support, training, and communication planning.
