Utrecht Science Park Foundation present in Reykjavik (Iceland) for 360º Innovation Conference at University of Iceland Science Park

Mieke de Bruin (St. Utrecht Science Park) attended the 360º Innovation Conference, which took place from 3-5 May in Reykjavik, organized by the University of Iceland Science Park.

During this conference, Mieke moderated two sessions, one about a sustainable future. Local green companies had the chance to showcase their work: how to turn atmospheric CO2 into stone, while the minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation shared insights on attracting international talent and positioning the country as a leading example on geothermal and renewable resources.

Attendees were invited to participate in a 360° journey through various fields of innovation in Iceland, including presentations from fast-growing companies and promising start-ups working on health and lifestyle, energy and climate solutions.

The conference provided an overview of the environment for innovation in Iceland. New solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as injecting carbon dioxide into rocks and cultivating algae in the open sea will be promoted. Other topics added to the journey from the depths of the earth to the expanse of outer space, with predictions for the near future and influence on the daily life. At last, there will be informative technical field trips to geothermal power plants and companies that develop side products from energy production. The conference is held in collaboration with IASP (International Association of Science Parks), and is part of the association’s annual conference series in Europe and is a must-attend event for those interested in innovation and looking to expand their network.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to experience the wonders of Iceland and broaden your horizons at the 360° Innovation Reykjavik conference.
