Startup Iceland is a yearly event that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and experts from various industries to share knowledge, network and explore new opportunities. Our platform aims to establish a resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem in Iceland by providing effective tools, resources, and guidance.
We are committed to creating sustainable entrepreneurial communities, a goal that has become more urgent in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. Entrepreneurs are known for the ability to create valuable resources for their communities, and small businesses are proven to generate more productive jobs than large corporations, which are the lifeblood of any economy.
Against this backdrop, we explore the most effective practices, methodologies, and learning strategies that can be employed in Iceland to achieve this goal.

Futurecast: Carbfix
In this episode of the Futurecast, Bala talks to Kristinn Ingi LÃĄrusson, Head of Business Development at Carbfix, an Icelandic company that has developed a technology to permanently store carbon dioxide (CO2) underground by turning it into stone.
The company's process involves capturing CO2 from industrial sources or directly from the air, dissolving it in water, and then injecting it deep into basaltic rock formations. Once injected, the CO2 reacts with the minerals in the rock to form stable carbonate minerals, effectively turning the CO2 into stone. This process is permanent and safe, and it has the potential to play a major role in mitigating climate change.

BjÃķrgvin Ingi Ãlafsson: The Second Seismic Shift
very inspiring: The way to get degrowth into a business model is to understand the word profit as a mixture of margin for sustaining and reinvesting in the business and the margin that is to be taken out of the business. The latter, the financial extraction part of profit is the toxic one leading to the imperative of growth. This lecture was an eye opener to me. Thanx
Good job
Plants need carbon dioxide.
This carbon crap is just that Crap! The US has 228 billion trees, each tree consumes 48 lbs of carbon equaling 10.9 Trillion lbs of carbon removal just by trees! And other vegetation consumes carbon as well, in fact, mango trees consume 50x more carbon so why arenât we planting more mangos to save the world??? Answer: stupid people & control is the only reason this an issue!!!
