Small. Senior.
Built for this problem.
Sovereign Land SAS, Paris. The structuring and underwriting intelligence company for degraded land transitions worldwide.
The infrastructure layer.
Sovereign Land SAS is a French holding company building the financial, legal, and monitoring infrastructure that turns degraded land bankable — for any owner, in any jurisdiction. We don’t buy land. We don’t speculate on land values. We don’t rely on carbon credits.
We connect three groups who need each other but have no system for transacting: operators who know the land, investors with capital mandates, and buyers who want cleaner, cheaper inputs. Sovereign Land is the connective tissue.
The qualifier is land condition — not title. We serve any owner who can’t finance the transition alone.
Each person brings a specific capability the system requires.
No generalists. No advisors. People with the track record, relationships, and knowledge the specific problem demands.
