Registration then opened for Gulleggi\u00f0 2027 \u2013 Iceland\u2019s largest entrepreneurship competition! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation, ideas and fun across three floors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentations were followed by a varied programme of activities throughout Gr\u00f3ska. On the ground floor, sponsors and partners had set up stands where students could learn about their work, ask questions and make valuable connections with the business community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students could meet representatives from Orkusalan, Crowberry Capital, KPMG, Brunnur Ventures, Landsbankinn, the Icelandic Intellectual Property Office, Sproti (Reykjav\u00edk University\u2019s innovation committee) and KLAK \u2013 Icelandic Startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the evening\u2019s highlights was the ideas competition hosted by KLAK and Landsbankinn, giving students a chance to let their ideas shine. At the end of the evening, one idea was selected to receive a fantastic prize: 50,000 Aukakr\u00f3nur, courtesy of Landsbankinn. The winner was Mar\u00eda D\u00eds G\u00fastafsd\u00f3ttir, whose idea was a piece of jewellery featuring an emergency button that sounds an alarm and sends the wearer\u2019s location to the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Gr\u00f3ska\u2019s lowest floor, Sproti, Reykjav\u00edk University\u2019s innovation committee, kept the fun going. Guests could try their hand at beer pong, spin a prize wheel and take part in a darts competition. Those looking for a more relaxed atmosphere could head to a cosy lounge on the second floor to chat and enjoy refreshments in good company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A musical performance rounded off a fantastic evening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was music, too! The evening wrapped up with an energetic performance by UB and Tatjana, who made sure guests left Gr\u00f3ska in high spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\u00edsindafer\u00f0 Gulleggsins was a great opportunity to bring together students, businesses and Iceland\u2019s innovation community. The evening showcased the energy and enthusiasm of the next generation of entrepreneurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KLAK warmly thanks all guests, sponsors and partners for taking part and making the evening so memorable. We look forward to seeing the ideas and opportunities that grow from the connections made!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
