Interogo

Interogo Foundation is a private foundation headquartered in Liechtenstein that acts as the controlling shareholder of Inter IKEA Systems B.V., the franchisor responsible for the IKEA concept. Through Inter IKEA Group entities, it provides governance and strategic oversight for the IKEA brand and its franchise operations worldwide. The foundation is part of a broader corporate structure associated with the Kamprad family, created to separate ownership from management and to secure the long-term preservation of the IKEA concept beyond the lifetime of its founder.

Inter IKEA Systems B.V., registered in the Netherlands, holds the rights to the IKEA concept, including product design, store concepts, and franchising; Interogo Foundation's stake in Inter IKEA Systems B.V. gives it ultimate control over these rights.

Inter IKEA Group operates separately from Ingka Group, which runs most IKEA stores and is owned by Stichting Ingka Foundation based in the Netherlands. The two structures illustrate the separation between brand development and store ownership within the IKEA system.

Public reporting on Interogo is limited; the foundation's governance and ownership details are not fully disclosed, leading to discussions about transparency in the IKEA corporate structure.
