IKEA Forward

We are looking for startups to help us solve the big challenges around being truly affordable and accessible for the many people and having a positive impact for people, society and planet. Together, we can create a better everyday life for the many people.

We have decided to create a pilot-focused program for IKEA to test real collaborations with 4 selected growth stage startups. The program provides a balance of concentrated on-site engagement for key events in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, case-by-case collaboration and time to work on your startup. The selected teams will get a first indication of the collaboration potential with IKEA already after one week on-site engagement, meaning you will only invest the remaining time of the 4 months based on a mutual recognition of the potential to explore a pilot together.
