IKEA Social Entrepreneurship and NESsT have partnered to create three unique programmes to support over 40 social enterprises from a variety of sectors such as sustainable agriculture, job inclusion, circular economy, and sustainability working across South America and Poland and Romania.

With the ambition of improving the lives of 7,000 marginalised and excluded people across these regions, the co-created and tailor-made programmes have been designed alongside IKEA regional representatives. The programmes provide social entrepreneurs with hands-on guidance from IKEA co-workers and NESsT advisors to support them with their business scale-up plans so they can create jobs, reach underserved communities and contribute to inclusive and sustainable futures for people who need it most in South America, Poland, and Romania.
