The preliminary competition of the Creative Business Cup was held for the first time in Iceland last Friday, and the start-up company Knittable was victorious. Nanna Einarsd\u00f3ttir, the founder of the startup, will compete for the title for the best idea in the finals of the Creative Business Cup 2024 in Copenhagen next June. As a reward, Knittable received a flight to Copenhagen and accommodation, while the preliminary competition was organized by KLAK - Icelandic Startups and \u00cdslandstofa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Creative Business Cup has a 12-year history where creative start-ups from over 80 countries compete for the title of best idea. The competition attracts creative startups from all over the world, and takes place in Copenhagen every year. Preliminaries have already been held around the world, but last year it was the start-up company NEBESYS from the Czech Republic that won the prize as the best idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knittable team consists of Nanna Einarsd\u00f3ttir, founder, Renata Bl\u00f6ndal, Leonie Karn and Magn\u00fas Elvar J\u00f3nsson.
