Green by Iceland is a platform for cooperation on climate issues and green solutions.
The role of Green by Iceland is to promote the export of Icelandic green solutions and renewable energy expertise while supporting Iceland‘s reputation as a leader in sustainability. Green by Iceland is housed within Business Iceland.
We had a wonderfully productive year of 2021! Green by Iceland took off and we were lucky enough to meet many of you in person. Our largest events of the year worked out and we were lucky enough to be able to attend small and intimate networking events as well.
Our videos were widely shared and often viewed which goes to show that there is an audience out there which is truly passionate about renewable energy, innovation, CCUS and the future of food.
This year we have received incredible support for our mission of increasing the exports of green solutions and renewable energy expertise from Iceland and we thank everyone taking part in this sustainability journey with us!
Looking back, this is what really stands out from 2021:
1. World Geothermal Congress 2020+1, Reykjavík – The largest geothermal event of the year held in Iceland!
2. Orca - The world’s largest direct air capture and storage plant launched in Iceland making headlines worldwide!
3. The Sustainable Innovation Forum at COP26, Glasgow – A wave of realistic optimism and business engagement on climate issues!
4. Business Delegations to Oslo & Copenhagen - Connecting companies committed to sustainability in the Nordics!
5. Iceland is a Global Champion – For a just and inclusive energy transition for all!
6. Green Future – Our exhibition on green solutions opened late 2021 and you are all welcome to visit us in 2022!
Thank you for 2021 – We look forward to 2022!
