on the drawing board, we are preparing to
bring a Nordic delegation of startups and
community leaders to Silicon Valley this
spring, and the Nordic Startup Awards’
Grand Finale will then be hosted in Reyk-
javík at the end of May. We also have the
Startup Reykjavík accelerator program,
open for applications until March 31. We
are also organizing an event focused on
angels and VCs that will be hosted next
fall and better promoted soon,” Salóme
says.
