As an expert on connecting business travelers on company trips with local entrepreneurs in Iceland, I have witnessed firsthand the remarkable resilience and ingenuity of the Icelandic people, rooted in a long history of overcoming challenges in a harsh environment. My family’s roots in fishing and farming in the west and Westfjords of Iceland serve as a testament to this enduring spirit, with each generation adapting to the unique conditions of life on this remote island.
One shining example of Icelandic entrepreneurship is Kerecis, the Medical-Fish-Skin Company based in the Westfjords. Despite coming from a town of less than 3000 people, Kerecis has garnered international attention for its innovative use of fish skin in medical applications, demonstrating the power of harnessing Iceland’s abundant natural resources to improve lives. Their story serves as an inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and illustrates the potential for innovation in unexpected places.
But Kerecis is just one among many success stories in Iceland’s entrepreneurial landscape. From groundbreaking ventures in green energy to pioneering initiatives in food production and advancements in gender equality, Icelandic entrepreneurs are driving positive change and shaping the future of their industries. Their willingness to push boundaries, embrace sustainability, and think outside the box makes Iceland a compelling destination for business travelers seeking inspiration and collaboration.
