We are very happy to welcome the cohort of social entrepreneurs to our accelerator together with NESsT. This programme will contribute to a more inclusive future for people who need it the most in Poland and Romania.
Social enterprise Atelier Merci is committed to circular economy practices, using textile scraps from clothing to create decorative house products and bags and offering recycling services to its clients for their used clothes.
The selected entrepreneurs offer long-term solutions to poverty alleviation, supporting marginalised populations to sustain their livelihoods and access income security and career growth. We are very inspired by their missions, and through the accelerator programme, we seek to fill the resource and capital gaps for these enterprises to help them to multiply their impact and to scale resiliently.
Our goal with this accelerator is to ensure the employment of 1,200 vulnerable communities in the region. IKEA is committed to sustainability and bringing a positive impact on people and the planet. Curious to meet Atelier Merci and the rest of the social entrepreneurs working for an inclusive and sustainable future?
