Innovation at Reykjavík City

Innovation tends to be discussed in the context of high-tech companies. But innovation is also the driver in a wide range of activities relating to culture, artistic creation, the third sector, public administration, and various service providers.

Innovation in Reykjavík

Innovation is not a feather in someone’s cap. It is part of Reykjavík’s self-image and shapes the way people live and work in the City approach our tasks. We are going to create a fertile ground for new ideas to flourish.

Innovation ecosystem

What ecosystem does innovation thrive in?

 

We were at the Greenhouse on Lækjartorg May 15-16. During this time, Reykjavík City hosted an open house with mini-events that focused on innovation at the City.

 

What is needed to ensure fertile ground for creative projects? How do we nurture innovation that enhances the quality of life for residents now and in the future? At our diverse program, you can explore various facets of innovation in Reykjavík and how it can grow and prosper.

 

The program at Lækjartorg was a part of Iceland Innovation Week, with Reykjavík City as a proud sponsor of the festival.

 

Thank you for coming!
