It marked a new beginning in Hringi\u00f0u's business accelerator when KLAK - Icelandic Startups and the City of Reykjav\u00edk hosted an introductory meeting at Reykjav\u00edk City Hall recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The goal was to introduce Hringi\u00f0a to interested startups at an early stage with environmental protection as a priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the accelerator, startups get help to shape their ideas, strengthen their network, get access to experienced mentors and finally present the idea to investors, but participation in the accelerator is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jenna Bj\u00f6rk Gu\u00f0mundsd\u00f3ttir, project manager for Ringing at KLAK \u2013 Icelandic Startups welcomed everyone to Reykjav\u00edk City Hall and introduced city councilor Alexandra Briem on stage, who represented the city of Reykjav\u00edk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Alexandra reviewed Reykjav\u00edk's approach to Hringi\u00f0a and the significance of the accelerator for innovation in the circular economy. It is worth noting that the City of Reykjav\u00edk is one of Hringi\u00f0a's sponsors. Subsequently, she encouraged startups to participate in the accelerator. Jenna Bj\u00f6rk took over and went over what Hringi\u00f0a will offer to early-stage shoots this spring, which brought a lot of happiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former participants in Hringi\u00f0a, Guolin Fang, co-founder of Plogg-In, \u00d3skar Svavarsson and Mar\u00eda Krist\u00edn \u00derastard\u00f3ttir, founders of Sidewind, reviewed their start-up journey and how the accelerator had a formative effect on the companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
