Björk and Nattura.info organized, as have been stated earlier, series of work-shop meetings in the Reykjavik University,
to discuss the possibilities of start-up and spin-off companies in Iceland in the light of a self-sustainable evolution. Due to a catastrophic economic situation in Iceland this work took on a whole new dimension. And it will continue to do so.
One of the seed-ideas that has been nurtured during the period of preparing the work-shop series, is the idea of Iceland as a whole of wellness places. In reconsidering the conditions of building up a self-sustained culture, economically, socially and environmentally, it helped thinking of Iceland as a cluster of diverse growths. And to think of water flowing in-between them!
The wellness places, natural swimming-pools and spas all over Iceland, as depicted by “Waterfriends” (see the article below), could thus be seen as the core of a collaboration between the field of health, r&d and education, culture and tourism, field of food-industry, design, bio-technology, high-tech. All to be overlapped in the field of self-sustainable energy.
