Nine teams are participating in the business accelerator Hringi\u00f0u 2024, where the focus is on sustainability, but the aim of the accelerator is to highlight, promote and support green innovation projects at an early stage.

At the end of the accelerator, participants will be able to present their projects to investors and apply for grants that support projects that reduce emissions. Two projects that got a place in the Ring Accelerator were created in the solution meeting Thr\u00e1dathoni that KLAK held at the beginning of the year in collaboration with Hringr\u00e1sarklasann with support from the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate.  

Hringi\u00f0a's focal point consists of organized workshops and meetings with experts from the group of mentors from KLAK VMS. The progress of the participants under the guidance of the mentors results in a greatly increased probability that the wands will succeed, to the benefit of Icelandic society. Hringi\u00f0a's mission is to promote the establishment of powerful companies in Iceland that are based on the concept of the circular economy, create valuable and interesting jobs and deliver results in environmental and climate matters in Iceland. Hringi\u00f0a 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 stakeholders with value creation as a guiding principle.

Hringi\u00f0a's sponsors are the City of Reykjav\u00edk, the Ministry of the Environment, Energy and Climate, Orkuveitan, Faxafl\u00f3hafnir, Terra, \u00d6lger\u00f0in and Samtok industriens. Hringi\u00f0a's partners are Rann\u00eds, Brei\u00f0 vej\u00f0urf\u00e9lag, Evris, Sj\u00e1varklassinn, Gr\u00e6nvangur, Orkuklassinn, Hugverkastofa, F6S and Hringr\u00e1sarklasinn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research method is based on our pioneering work in the processing of lupine for textile, construction industry and other manufacturing products.

In the depths was founded by Svein Gunnarsson and Begga Rist.

Today, much of horse manure in Iceland is disposed of, at great expense to the horse owners, without any use for it. In order to stop the import of compost and manure, we aim to, with a certain processing process, make a quality product from the horse manure, which can be used in gardening, cultivation, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This product will increase the value of the product and will be sold in Iceland, but the technical know-how will be able to be exported to other countries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SeaGrowth plans to produce bio-cultured fish pulp from fish cells for food production. The process is such that an initial sample is taken from a wild, healthy fish, the cells are isolated and grown in specially designed culture tanks. The resulting mass of fish will be sold to food processing companies that process the raw product into fish dishes ready for consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
