A Welcome to International Investors

The local business environment in northeast Iceland is very suitable for industrial growth. During the last few years local governments have planned quite a few industrial development zones throughout the area. The main sites are situated near the towns of Akureyri and Husavik.

These zones cover land destined for large factories as well as light industrial enterprises. Delivery of energy to these sites is available on short notice.

Road transportation within the region is favourable and there are good harbours, which can cope with the servicing of large freighters and transport of heavy materials. Thus there is easy access for the import of raw materials to the area as well as the loading of vessels and transportation of goods.

The area’s main airport is conveniently located right outside of Akureyri. The airport is the main domestic airport outside Reykjavik, as well as being the international airport for the northern part of Iceland.
