At KLAK \u2013 Icelandic Startups, we work every day to support entrepreneurs and strengthen the innovation community in Iceland. It makes us especially happy to see when teams that have gone through our projects, whether it's a business accelerator, an idea sprint, or the Gulleggi\u00f0 entrepreneurship competition, achieve well-deserved success. Recently, the Rann\u00eds Technology Development Fund announced which projects would receive an invitation to enter into agreements for funding to further develop their innovation, and quite a few teams that KLAK has been involved with were among that group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We would like to congratulate the following teams on this important milestone. They are true role models and it makes us happy to see how dynamic and ambitious the teams that go through the KLAK accelerators and projects turn out to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
