Icelandic Student Innovation Fund

Engagement with industry and society

There are many examples of innovation projects having sparked larger development initiatives within companies. Young people are often bold and creative in their thinking, and companies have been willing to invest in feasibility studies with the support of the Student Innovation Fund. It is often the most motivated students who seek summer research opportunities.

Work supported by the Student Innovation Fund has provided companies with a platform to connect with students, and these connections have frequently led to job offers after graduation. The fund is therefore also an excellent opportunity for students to engage with the country’s most forward-thinking companies and institutions.
