Action Plan for Employment and Innovation Policy
Description of the action and objectives
Green Deal action
The Reykjavík City Economic & Innovation Policy 2030 "Innovation Everywhere" discusses how Reykjavík City has all the pillars in place to offer an internationally competitive environment for a creative economy, culture, and innovation. New priorities in the Reykjavík Economic & Innovation Policy will help us create a fertile ground where different currents combine to attract imaginative and entrepreneurial people. To implement the Policy, a two-year action plan will be developed and then updated after two years.
Implementation period
Planned completion in the second half of 2022
Status: Completed
Status report on January 1, 2023
Work on the promotional material continued in the latter part of the year. The purpose of promotional materials is to establish Reykjavík's unique position in the minds of tourists and encourage people to spend more time in Reykjavík during their trip around Iceland. The promotional campaigns ‘Restart, Reconnect’, and ‘Are You Ready for Reykjavík’ continued, targeting mainly wealthier American and British tourists.
