The programme combined theory and hands-on experience. We explored how to apply innovative thinking to real-world challenges in close collaboration with students from all over Europe. We learned how to design ideas with real social impact, and how to take the first steps toward turning them into sustainable ventures.
All challenges were linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting the growing importance of sustainability in both public and private sectors.
We also got to experience Iceland Innovation Week where we met founders, listened to inspiring speakers, and got a taste of the energy and creativity that drives innovation in Iceland.
And of course, I couldn’t leave without soaking in the beauty of the island 😍. A big thank you to everyone who filled this week with so much inspiration, support, and contagious energy!
