615 applications received over three cycles
the 615 applications that IAP has received over the first three cycles have been submitted by companies and organisations with HQ in 68 different countries. The trend with fewer applications from applicants based in Sweden, first visible in cycle two, was accentuated in cycle 3, suggesting a wider reach of the IAP programme. In line with this, cycle 3 also marked the entrance of the MENA-region among the main regions from where IAP applications are received.
More exhaustive information can be found in the third cycle analysis , which provide plentiful of information, which in conjunction with the Knowledge Exchange Report provides a good analysis of the IAP programme this far.
Kindly note that the reports above describe which projects have been selected, but it is absolutely not prescriptive of those that should apply in coming cycles. IAP is looking for a diverse portfolio of projects, and entrepreneurs considering applying should not assume that future projects must have a similar profile. Lastly, we want to thank all entrepreneurs who have submitted applications to the programme and wish them the best of luck in their inclusive business endeavours.
