Ingka Investments

Ingka Investments is the investment arm of Ingka Group. The IKEA vision guides us as we lead home furnishing retail into the future. To secure Ingka Group’s long-term growth, we make responsible investments in people and businesses that make a positive difference to people and planet.

We share the knowledge we gain from our investment collaborations with IKEA Retail to support our business development.

Our diverse portfolio is mainly invested in securities with low-risk profiles with the following themes:

These investments support development opportunities that benefit IKEA Retail. We focus on companies that can help us to:

• enhance our home furnishing offer and inspire customers.
• develop new applications of technology.
• improve the shopping experience, e.g., improved payment solutions.
• increase knowledge of our customers and the market.
• secure speed, quality and capacity in services, e.g., in transportation and last-mile delivery.
• convert visitors into customers by using new technologies that make it easier and more attractive for visitors to navigate stores.

A recent digitalisation investment is Mover – a Danish technology platform focused on optimising last mile logistics solutions.

Moving to the circular economy is essential if we are to continue to meet people’s needs and dreams while staying within the limits of our planet.

We want to be part of accelerating this transition – through the investments we make, by changing waste into resources across our operations and enabling millions of people to live a more sustainable life at home.

We invest in innovative companies that support Ingka Group to grow supply of circular resources. One of the companies we’ve partnered with is Morssinkhof rymoplast.

From 2020 Ingka Investments will invest in commercial real estate, enabling IKEA Retail to open IKEA stores in city centres. Investing in commercial real estate is a complimentary approach to the Ingka Centres and IKEA Retail expansion strategy ​to create a new world of IKEA in the inner cities. It is also a safe way for us to preserve value in assets that maintain their value through time. We focus on prime, core real estate that requires no or limited development at top locations in prioritised cities.
