Iceland needs more talents, experts and start-ups. We need more innovation. People working in Iceland need better career prospects and a thriving ecosystem. We put these needs together and now have an exciting proposition for all international experts working in the Nordics.

Do you want to be at the forefront of the Nordic tech scene and join a unique collaborative platform amongst four exciting Nordic regions from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden?

Icelandic Startups & The City of Reykjavik in collaboration with Future Place Leadership & Rising North are looking to carefully select, acknowledge and reward five international tech talents from each country, who are not from the Nordics, but currently are living and working in the Nordics.

What?

We want to hear your story and we want to tell it to the world.

By doing this we want to improve the perception of Nordic tech as a force in the global industry and thereby enhance your long-term career opportunities. This is an exciting opportunity, where we promise to do our best (notice the Nordic modesty here) to make sure you become part of a cool new programme (and now we are not talking about codes).

Why should you join (or nominate a friend)?

  • Be recognized for your achievements as a leading tech talent in the Nordics
  • Be part of an interesting peer to peer storytelling platform, where the story is you
  • Join our community of regional business leaders and shape the talent attraction and retention in your new local home away from home
  • Meet tech talents from all over the word, who are also currently working here in the Nordics
  • Have some fun in the Nordic way of mixing business and social life (admittedly we tend to socialise more at work than outside of work)

You probably did not come here for the weather. You may have cried the first time you did your taxes. You may be a developer or a CEO. You may be part of a start-up or larger corporation. You may have come to study here and have stayed after completing your degree. Maybe you moved here with your family. Or you are single and are exploring Nordic Noir step by step (not to worry, we don’t kiss and tell).

Applicants, say yes to these points and apply:

  • You are living in Reykjavik (IS)
  • You are a professional in the ICT/tech scene
  • Love might be a strong word, but you are at least a fan of the Nordics
  • You are an outgoing person who likes to meet other likeminded people
  • Would be interested in networking with businesses and entrepreneurs
  • Want to be part of a historic pilot that seeks to showcase the Nordics as a career destination to the world!

Consider yourself invited to the Nordic Talent Ambassador network!

Sign up here before February 1st!
