Stories from Reykjavík's business community

Description of the action and objectives

Green Deal action

Through domestic and international marketing, we want to highlight excellent stories from Reykjavík's diverse business community that can inspire and strengthen the city's image. A strong image makes the city more desirable and attracts capital, new businesses and talented people for residence, visits and activities.

 

Implementation period

Planned completion in the second half of 2024

Status: In progress

Status report on July 1, 2024

It's known that to strengthen the city's image and attract capital, new businesses and talented people, a good approach includes appearing on comparative lists with other cities. Reykjavík City has gathered various data on the city's sustainability and submitted it to Economist Impact to be included in the 'Urban Performance Index' (UPI), a new measurement framework designed to assess sustainable development in cities worldwide. Behind UPI is Economist Impact, which has developed the framework in collaboration with and funded by UN-Habitat.
