Iceland in Focus – New Distributor and Official State Visit Strengthen Collaboration Between Sweden and Iceland

Last week was very much in the theme of Iceland.

First of all, we published last week that we partner with Icepharma Welfare to become our distributor in Iceland.

Secondly, Last week Iceland’s president Halla Tómasdóttir had an Official State Visit to Sweden. As part of that visit, Business Sweden in collaboration with Business Iceland hosted an event for the incoming Healthcare and Life Science Business Delegation. The theme of the event was on health care, life science & innovation with a specific focus on how Iceland and Sweden together can enhance the region’s competitiveness in a changing geopolitical landscape. Our colleague Marco joined the event which had a good balance of personal exchanges and panel discussions hosted by Britta Stenson, PhD.

As a bonus to this event, Marco was invited by the Islandic delegation to join a dinner organized by the Icelandic president for the King and Queen of Sweden. The Icelandic national team of chefs prepared delicious, typical Icelandic, food for the invited guests. What stood out most for Marco however is what an Intelligent, funny and to the point president Halla Tómasdóttir is for Iceland.

We look forward doing business on Iceland in partnership with Icepharma.
