The New Business Venture Fund Kría (Kría) will be a supporting partner of HönnunarÞing 2026, a festival of design and innovation organised by Hraðið – Innovation Centre in Húsavík on 25–26 September. This year’s focus is on energy, the third theme of the festival, exploring how design, innovation and energy intersect and how, together, they can generate new ideas, solutions and opportunities.
In recent years, HönnunarÞing has established itself as a unique platform where different disciplines, people and ideas come together. The festival is built on the belief that innovation often emerges when different perspectives meet and new connections are formed.
Participants include designers, entrepreneurs, companies and experts from a wide range of fields. The programme gives participants an opportunity to discover new ideas, share experiences and connect with people working on diverse projects in design and innovation.
One of Kría’s portfolio companies, microalgae company Mýsköpun, will be participating in the festival in Húsavík. Dr Ingólfur B. Gunnarsson, CEO of Mýsköpun, will present the company’s work at HönnunarÞing on Saturday at 16:30.
Ragnheiður H. Magnúsdóttir from Nordic Ignite will also give a presentation. Nordic Ignite is one of Kría’s partners in Iceland’s innovation ecosystem.
Hrönn Greipsdóttir, CEO of The New Business Venture Fund Kría:
“Kría is committed to supporting a strong innovation ecosystem across Iceland. Events such as HönnunarÞing provide an important platform for people to meet, exchange ideas and build connections that can lead to new projects and opportunities.”
The full programme for HönnunarÞing in Húsavík is available on the Hraðið website.
