We’re thrilled to announce that Bell Living Lab has been selected as part of the I-SEA (Instellar & IKEA Social Entrepreneurship Accelerator) Program — a prestigious year-long accelerator in partnership with Instellar Impact and IKEA Social Entrepreneurship that empowers social enterprises to scale their impact and strengthen their business models. 

I-SEA is a specially designed accelerator that supports innovative social enterprises across Indonesia working in sustainable agriculture, circular economy, and environmentally driven solutions. Through this program, selected changemakers receive tailored mentorship, strategic guidance, access to networks, and practical tools to help their ventures grow sustainably and deliver positive change in their communities.

🛠️ What This Means for Bell Living Lab

Being part of the I-SEA Cohort 3 (2025–2026) puts Bell Living Lab among 10 visionary social enterprises selected for their meaningful mission and innovative solutions in sustainability. 

Through the program, we’ll gain:

• Tailored mentorship and business coaching with experts from IKEA and Instellar

• Strategic support to refine our model and scale impact

• Access to a wider ecosystem of distributors, partners, and investors

• Opportunities to deepen our impact and reach new markets

This opportunity comes with an immersive bootcamp experience, bringing together all cohort members for collaborative learning and reflection at the start of the I-SEA journey. 

🌱 A Step Forward in Sustainable Innovation

Bell Living Lab’s mission has always been to upcycle agricultural waste (like coffee by-products) into high-value materials that can replace conventional plastics, leather substitutes, and other non-sustainable materials. Being a part of I-SEA equips us with even greater tools to expand our solutions, deepen our community impact, and contribute to a greener, more inclusive economy. 

🤝 What I-SEA Stands For

The I-SEA program was co-created by Instellar and IKEA Social Entrepreneurship to help Indonesian social enterprises grow their impact sustainably. It focuses on strengthening business capabilities while addressing the needs of marginalised and vulnerable communities. The programme supports enterprises with mentorship, learning, and access to resources tailored to their specific challenges and impact goals. 

🚀 Looking Ahead

Being selected for the I-SEA program marks an exciting chapter for Bell Living Lab. We’re incredibly honored to join a community of changemakers committed to innovation, sustainability, and inclusive impact. As we move forward with the accelerator, we look forward to sharing updates on our progress, learnings, and the tangible impact we achieve together with our partners and community.

Stay tuned for more news as we embark on this journey to scale our mission and make sustainability the norm — not the exception. 🌍
