Expand Global Impact
Steps we’ve taken:
-
Launch of the Ivey Global Opportunities (IGO) Fund.
We introduced a competitive, donor-supported internal seed fund (with initial funding of $100K) to accelerate initiatives that advance Ivey’s global impact—supporting projects across global student experiences, international partnerships, research and case development, and inclusive, sustainable global engagement. The Fund is designed to catalyze new ideas, pilot scalable models, and strengthen Ivey’s international presence through cross-school collaboration and high-impact global initiatives.
-
Expanding the impact and reach of the 39 Country Initiative.
We have increased the number of countries who can access Ivey’s case-based teaching materials at no cost to 47 eligible countries, including the addition of Nigeria in 2026. In 2025 alone, the initiative trained over 1,250 professors through in-person workshops across Lesotho, Cambodia, Nepal, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Malawi, Pakistan, Benin, Bangladesh, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. The 39 Country initiative is on track to reach approximately 1 million students taught using at least some Ivey cases by 2028.
-
Increasing international Executive Education programs.
We have expanded delivery of Ivey Executive Education programs internationally, reaching 13 countries over the past year—from Thailand and Japan to the UAE—with participants joining from over 40 countries. This growth reflects increasing engagement with large multinational organizations and strengthens Ivey’s position as a globally competitive provider of executive education.

Growth and global leadership of Ivey Publishing.
We have expanded the global reach of Ivey Publishing with sales in 129 countries and submissions from over 2,500 authors across 54 countries, alongside a 47% increase in direct customer accounts—strengthening engagement with educators globally. Record case submissions (up 54% year-over-year) further reinforce Ivey Publishing’s position as a global publisher of choice for case-based business education, with continued growth in key markets such as India through increased author engagement and targeted outreach activities.
