During 2025 edition of the Iceland Innovation Week, we wanted to pose some fundamental questions. About reclaiming the meaning of progress, pathways to innovation that prioritize collective well-being, and a panel discussion on the importance of imagining brighter futures.
The event drew a full house of some 60-70 people and reactions that indicated general demand for scratching below the surface of our current discourse on startups, tech and innovation.
