A lively atmosphere was created in Gr\u00f3ska on May 6th when KLAK \u2013 Icelandic Startups hosted the Prosecco & Pitch event of Hringi\u00f0u 2026. Entrepreneurs, investors, mentors and innovation enthusiasts gathered there to listen to a variety of pitches from the accelerator participants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event gave the teams in Hringi\u00f0a, all of whom work on developing environmentally friendly solutions, the opportunity to present their startups to guests, while sparkling wine and macarons were served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andri \u00cdvars led the evening's program and played a few songs on guitar between pitches. Eldar \u00c1st\u00fe\u00f3rsson from Faxafl\u00f3ah\u00f6fnir, who have been sponsors of Hringi\u00f0a from the beginning, also gave a talk at the event. Among other things, he introduced the new passenger center V\u00f6r and his vision for the development of port areas and sustainable transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
