Freyr Friðfinnsson, International Project Manager at KLAK, says in an interview with Visir.is:
“Since the turn of the century, Icelandic venture funds have built up significant expertise, and the aim of the VC Challenge program is to train the next generation of fund managers. With greater knowledge and experience, these venture funds will become a more attractive investment option for other investors.”
The interview focuses on a collaborative project that KLAK is now part of, together with many organizations in the Nordic innovation support ecosystem. Atvinnulífið on Visir covers the VC Challenge program, which is organized by KLAK, Startup Norway, Helsinki Partners, Canute, and Nordic Node. Among the backers of the project is Kría, a fund owned by the Icelandic government whose role is to invest in venture funds.
