Klak - Icelandic Startups held an event during Innovation Week where representatives of start-up companies presented what solutions they saw for speeding up the implementation of the circular economy in Iceland. It was packed in the Tjarnarsal R\u00e1dh\u00fas Reykjav\u00edur where the representatives of the start-up companies took part in Shark Tank, but each of them was given three minutes to present their ideas and they then had to answer difficult questions from two "sharks", namely Margr\u00e9tar Ormslev \u00c1sgeirsd\u00f3ttir, investment manager at Brunni Ventures, and Gests P\u00e9tursson, sole proprietor of Pyxis, about the projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was also a round table where media person G\u00edsli Marteinn Baldursson spoke with Environment Minister Gu\u00f0laug \u00de\u00f3r \u00de\u00f3r\u00f0arson, investor Bala Kamallakharan and expert Ragnhei\u00f0i Magn\u00fasd\u00f3ttir about the circular economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They discussed the greening of the world and how to speed up the implementation of the circular economy in Iceland and promote a sustainable society. All the start-ups received high praise from everyone at the round table, and hopes are tied to further developments in that area. The start-ups that participated in the shark cage were Snerpa Power, Sidewind, \u00c1lvit, \u00ddmir Technologies, GreenBytes, Plogg-Inn and e1.

 "Great to see green tech entrepreneurs finally thinking on a bigger scale than ever and showing ambition beyond national boundaries. Accelerators and events like this help them take the next steps and accelerate the technology to market. There is a lot of demand today for green solutions, and Iceland should definitely be a model on a global scale, as there is a lot of experience and ingenuity here in this field." Says Margr\u00e9t Ormslev \u00c1sgeirsd\u00f3ttir, investment manager at Brunni Ventures, and mentor at Hringi\u00f0a business accelerator with long experience in the energy and green industry.
