/

a half-day Master Class on October 24

EDIH in Iceland in collaboration with EEN is organizing the event "From business idea to financing" on Thursday, October 24th. in Gróska, Bjargargata 1, 102 Reykjavík at 10:00-14:00.


Take part in a half-day Master Class designed to guide entrepreneurs through the key elements of creating a successful business plan and raising capital. The course is run by Uffe Bundgaard-Joergensen, who has a lot of experience in this field, and he will share his insights on how to develop a compelling business idea, make a successful budget and attract the right investors. It will be discussed how to combine funding from the private sector with public funding, with a special emphasis on funding from the EU, such as the funding channels of the EIC and the EU Innovation Fund. Participants will learn how these grants can be used to bridge the funding gap and increase credibility with investors. More information about the event can be found in the attachment.


Participants get access to customized content, i.e. on m. slides, business plans and other content from Gate2Growth for three months. In addition, personal counseling sessions with Uffe will be available at the beginning or end of the day, where participants will have the opportunity to receive individual feedback.


This event is suitable for entrepreneurs who want to deepen their understanding of funding sources and gain practical tools to bring their business ideas to life.


Registration for the event takes place here. Please note that space is limited, so registration is essential. The event is free of charge for participants and will be held in English.


More information about personal counseling sessions is expected soon, but we encourage participants to contact Kolfinna Tómasdóttir if you want to secure a place for such a counseling session.


This event is hosted by EDIH in Iceland (European Digital Innovation Hub) in collaboration with EEN (Enterprise Europe Network).

In the autumn of 2025 Reykjavik University will, for the first time, offer a master’s programme in artificial intelligence at RU’s Department of Computer Science. Although RU has for years been a leader in AI education and research, this is a study line and an addition to the existing graduate programs currently taught within the department. The master’s program in AI is designed to provide students with a deep understanding and skillset in developing, training, and applying artificial intelligence for a wide range of purposes. In addition, students will be introduced to the ethical challenges associated with the development and use of AI and will learn how to approach these challenges in a responsible manner. "It is really important that ambitious and forward-thinking graduate studies are available in Iceland. By strengthening expertise in AI, we enhance the country's international competitiveness and increase opportunities for innovation domestically. With this new master's program in artificial intelligence, we at RU are doing our part to help prepare society for the future,” says Henning Arnór Úlfarsson, Chair of the Department of Computer Science at Reykjavik University. Alongside this new study line, a new scholarship has also been established for the AI master’s program, with a focus on language technology: MSc in Artificial Intelligence with an emphasis on Language Technology (AILT). The scholarship is named after the late Baldur Jónsson, professor of Icelandic studies, who led the first language technology project carried out in Iceland. This year marks 50 years since the results of that project were published in the work “Tíðni orða í Hreiðrinu: tilraunaverkefni í máltölvun” in 1975. As a result, Icelandic language technology celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. The scholarship amount is equivalent to the tuition fees of master's students and is granted for one academic year at a time. It will be renewed for the second year of study if the recipient demonstrates strong academic performance. Eligibility will be assessed based on education, relevant background, and submitted materials. Here you can find more information and a link to registration.
