week May 12th-16th 2025

Welcome to Iceland Innovation Week, a festival that celebrates and showcases innovation.

Side events ranging from panel discussions and company visits to happy hours and an icy ocean dips are held in locations in Reykjavík throughout the whole week. That means that not only founders and investors participate, but also larger companies and public institutions. Our aim is to increase the visibility of the Nordic innovation sector, create a platform where knowledge can be shared, and become a vibrant, international marketing window.
