Grindavík at IceFish is about much more than showcasing individual companies

Fishing and the ocean have always been at the heart of Grindavík, but the ecosystem surrounding them reaches much further. Today, fisheries and seafood production connect with harbour services, technology, logistics, innovation, aquaculture, hospitality and other businesses that support the industry and the people within it.

At IceFish, these different parts of the Grindavík business community will come together under one shared platform – demonstrating not only the strength of individual companies, but the connections, knowledge and infrastructure that make Grindavík an attractive place to do business, collaborate and invest.

“The participation of the Grindavík community at IceFish is about much more than showcasing individual companies. It is about bringing the strengths of Grindavík together and demonstrating how collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship can play a key role in building a strong and diverse local economy and ultimately the community as a whole,” says Ásta Kristín Sigurjónsdóttir, CEO of the Iceland Tourism Cluster and project manager for Saman í sókn, an industry-led initiative in Grindavík.

On November 10, 2023, Grindavik, home to 4,000 residents, was evacuated as the Sundhnúkur volcanic system erupted, sending lava toward the town. Today the town is rebuilding, and, despite the extraordinary challenges of the recent years, Grindavík remains home to significant expertise, infrastructure and entrepreneurial spirit.

IceFish provides an international platform to demonstrate that strength while looking firmly towards the future.

Grindavík is open, active and ready for business.

Meet Grindavík at IceFish 2026.
