Matís

Company that depends on the Icelandic government and is dedicated to specialized research for value creation within the bioeconomy and policy and infrastructure development. An example of Matís' work is his efforts to reduce waste created as a result of inappropriate handling of products along the value chain, which is one of the biggest problems in today's fishing industry. Such work can be seen by start-up Kerecis, which uses cod skin, a waste resource, for medical uses such as bandages. In addition to working on waste reduction, Matís focuses on a new technological development that includes big data, biochemical extraction. and enzymatic and industry value chain data, which he believes will have a major impact on the industry.
