“With this collaboration with MIT DesignX, we at Eyrir Vöxtur want to build bridges for innovative companies in Iceland that intend to enter the international market and need to be prepared to scale up fast. With access to advice, experience and the network that the MIT DesignX business accelerator offers, the possibilities for innovative companies to meet the requirements that must be met by entrepreneurs who are planning to go all the way with their companies increase,” comments Stefanía Guðrún Halldórsdóttir, Managing Director of Eyrir Vöxtur, in a press release.
