IKEA Social Entrepreneurship B.V.

IKEA has long since had the vision to create a better everyday life for as many people as possible. In 2012, IKEA looked at how to achieve this by including products and services from social entrepreneurs in their offerings. Building on the success, IKEA looked to support programmes that accelerate the movement of social entrepreneurship in general.

Together, IKEA Social Entrepreneurship and Ashoka teamed up for a multi-years global partnership, Dela, to collaborate with Social Entrepreneurs and learn from their work and approaches while supporting them to achieve greater impact. This partnership supports Ashoka’s Venture & Fellowship program as well as our global Accelerator program Globalizer (called the Dela Accelerator) & engage co-workers to be changemakers.
