Want to make a difference?

There are several ways to influence digitalisation processes at Digital Iceland as well as the prioritisation of projects. People can become Ísland.is Influencers and thus participate in testing new services and give feedback. They can make suggestions on Óskalisti þjóðarinnar (e. Nations Wishlist). People can also Tell their story! and thus pass on messages about where public services need to be improved.
