\u00c1slaug Arna Sigurbj\u00f6rnsd\u00f3ttir, Minister of Higher Education, Industry and Innovation, visited the knowledge centre in H\u00fasav\u00edk today. The purpose of the visit was to sign agreements for the operation of Hra\u00f0inn \u2013 the Innovation Centre and FabLab H\u00fasav\u00edk. These are agreements that have been in preparation for some time, running until 2022, with some extending to 2023. The opportunity was also taken to discuss the future operation and the ministry's support for the activities on Hafnarst\u00e9ttin.<\/p>\n

On the same occasion, more distinguished guests attended a meeting at the site and also met the minister; namely, members of the group who took the first steps in Marel's development history in H\u00fasav\u00edk: Dr R\u00f6gnvaldur \u00d3lafsson, Tryggvi Finnsson and Hallgr\u00edmur Valdimarsson. R\u00f6gnvaldur, who has sat on the board of the Knowledge Network and the Accelerator since their inception, was the one who pioneered the initial ideas behind the digitalisation of the food industry through his development work at the Institute of Natural Sciences of the University of Iceland. R\u00f6gnvaldur brought these ideas into partnership with the H\u00fasav\u00edk Fish Processing Association, where many capable local people worked, with Tryggvi as managing director and Hallgr\u00edm as foreman leading the way. In very simple terms, these were the first steps in the lead-up to the establishment of Marel, which everyone knows today. The Minister, \u00c1slaug Arna, met with the colleagues at the premises of Hra\u00f0inn for a chat about innovation, past and future. \u00a0Katr\u00edn Sigurj\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, Mayor of Nor\u00f0ur\u00feing, welcomed the minister, along with the heads of Hra\u00f0inn and \u00deekkingarneti\u00f0, as Nor\u00f0ur\u00feing has direct affiliation with Fab Lab H\u00fasav\u00edk and is currently shaping further collaboration with Hra\u00f0i\u00f0 following the agreement with the ministry.<\/p>\n
