Hringi\u00f0a, Nordic Circular Hubs and Sj\u00e1varklasinn organized a seminar with the main Nordic experts in the field of implementing a circular economy in Iceland in Gr\u00f3ska on May 10, which will increase the cooperation between Nordic entrepreneurs, investors and municipalities to promote a more sustainable society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is urgent to answer the call for more nature-based solutions to the environmental problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kr\u00edst\u00edn Soff\u00eda J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, managing director of Klak - Icelandic Startups, opened the seminar in Gr\u00f3ska's ballroom and those who spoke were experts from Link\u00f6ping University, EYDE cluster in Norway, Kalundborg Symbiosis in Denmark and the Finnish innovation fund SITRA to name a few. Dagur B. Eggertsson, the mayor of Reykjav\u00edk, addressed the guests and said that the decisions that will be made today and next year are the most important in shaping the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the seminar, the entrepreneurial companies in Hringi\u00f0a presented their activities and met with the Nordic experts. The participants of Hringi\u00f0a this year are the companies e1, GreenBytes, \u00c1lvit, Plogg-In, \u00ddmir Technologies, Sidewind and Snerpa Power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"This was an invaluable opportunity for our companies to better connect with the Nordic countries. Iceland is a small market and the climate problem is big. Through more powerful conversation, we increase the momentum towards success.<\/em>Kolfinna Krist\u00ednard\u00f3ttir, Hringi\u00f0a project manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
