KLAK and the business accelerator Hringi\u00f0a took advantage of the happiness and invited everyone to a Prosecco & Pitch day for the first day of summer at the famous green wall in Gr\u00f3ska, where investors, thirsty startups and the public listened to elevator pitches from start-up companies in Hringi\u00f0a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a lot of excitement and anticipation for the elevator pitches given by the start-up companies in Hringi\u00f0a. In recent weeks, the companies have attended workshops, listened to lectures, met with selected experts from the KLAK, KLAK VMS mentor community and received training in performing. All of them have worked hard to bring their solutions, which really solve the environmental issues at hand, to a good start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freyr Fri\u00f0finnsson, KLAK's international representative, opened the event, welcomed everyone to Prosecco & Pitch and toasted the wands in Hringi\u00f0a to the great joy of those present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hringi\u00f0a accelerator, which is run for the third time this year, is managed by KLAK - Icelandic Startups, which for many years has provided assistance in the development of business ideas and brought together a group of business partners with value creation as a guiding principle. The focus in Hringi\u00f0a's workshops is the circular economy, where methods are highlighted and new technologies are supported that ensure that resources are kept in the economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
