🌞 What a great way to kick-off Hringvarmi activities after the summer and enjoy a little late season sunshine in #iceland 🌞 🥗 We had the pleasure to sit down today with Nikhilesh Mohanty of Arctic Edge Consultants and talk about our strategy for the next year! 🥗 💡 There is so much to be gained in sitting down and discussing the concrete steps to take when building and scaling a business that getting expert advise, and sharing ideas out loud to really hear where the gaps are is invaluable - Thank you Arctic Edge Consultants💡 #strategy #innovation #impact #startup #advise Alexandra Leeper PhD Justine Vanhalst KLAK - Icelandic Startups Auðna - Technology Transfer Office Iceland Norðanátt Drift EA Iceland Ocean Cluster Thor Sigfusson PhD Nordic Ignite FKA - Félag kvenna í atvinnulífinu Homeward Bound Projects

🎉 On the day of Women Right's in Iceland, June 19th, we had the pleasure of being awarded FrumkvöðlaAuður grant from Kvika banki hf. design to support women entrepreneurs. 🛠 This grant is a much needed contribution towards the deployment of our prototype this summer. 🛠 📜 A bit of history: In 1915, on this day, Icelandic women won the right to vote! Far ahead of many European countries. In comparison, the Hringvarmi founder's birth country, in the UK this was achieved not so long after in 1918 (Alexandra Leeper PhD) however in France it was not until 1944 😱 more than 30 years after Iceland! (Justine Vanhalst) 💪 Funding vehicles like this are still necessary to bridge the gender gap in startup financing. 🙏😊 Takk fyrir okkur!

🍃 So exciting to see the rapidly developing role of controlled environment food production and the growing importance agri-tech for global food security and reduced carbon footprint 🍃 Great article from CNN on some of the large scale actors in the this sector including the exciting Gigafarm that is a great example of #circulareconomy in agri-tech. Image from Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS) and CNN article with link below in comments. As Hringvarmi develops our MVP this summer we are considering closely the lessons, values and circular approaches already on the market to optimise our solution and create unique circular value from #datacenter #excesseheat.
