KLAK \u2013 Icelandic Startups invited to an event in Gr\u00f3ska on the occasion that the business accelerator Hringi\u00f0a organized by Klak has now started its journey for the third time. The theme of the event was food production in the field of the circular economy, and guests were offered refreshments with products from the innovative company VAXA and Collab drinks from \u00d6lger\u00f0inn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Kolfinna Krist\u00ednard\u00f3ttir, Hringi\u00f0u's project manager, opened the event to the great joy of those present in Gr\u00f3ska, but she welcomed everyone to listen to the first talk of the event. Andri Bj\u00f6rn Gunnarsson from the innovative company and high-tech greenhouse VAXA gave a talk on the structure and future of VAXA, while new production technology was reviewed, i.e. vertical farming, so-called vertical agriculture that takes place indoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Dav\u00ed\u00f0 Sigur\u00f0sson, brand manager at \u00d6lger\u00f0inn, one of Hringi\u00f0a's backers, reviewed the product development of the drink, which is based on Icelandic ingenuity. It is a sugar-free drink with added collagen, made from by-products of Icelandic seafood, in collaboration with FEEL Iceland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The startups Mar Eco<\/strong>, Orb<\/strong>, RVK Tool Library memorabilia<\/strong> and Resea Energy<\/strong> performed at the event, but they are all participants in Hringi\u00f0a. Melta<\/strong>, Alor <\/strong>and Bambah\u00fas <\/strong>who are also in the accelerator were at Nordan\u00e1ttar's investor festival that took place on Siglufj\u00f6r\u00f0ur on the same day. All of them have one thing in common: they are committed to solving environmental issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teams that presented their projects are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
