Last update: an hour ago

Health Policy: Iceland is speeding up public health insurance access for new residents from outside the EEA, cutting the waiting period from six months to three, while from Jan. 1 it will also stop covering illness and accident costs incurred during travel outside the EEA. Whaling & Marine Policy: Iceland has resumed commercial whaling after a two-year gap, with the first fin whale catches reported as the government prepares further legislation that could eventually end the practice. Green Aviation Tech: Syntholene says it has completed a geothermal demonstration plant in Husavík to produce eSAF, aiming to cut green hydrogen costs by 70% using Iceland’s heat. Property Market Innovation: Icelandic startup Fjöldakaup is launching a group-buying model for new homes, letting buyers pool demand to negotiate discounts with developers. AI Music Rights: A coalition of artists and music managers has issued an open letter urging labels and publishers to stop “misuse” of creators’ rights in AI licensing deals, warning that artists are often opted in by default. Transport & Trade: TCE renewed and expanded its cargo management deal with Air Transat as the airline pushes into Brazil, adding Iceland among new markets. Business & Growth: Akasa Air received its 39th Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, with the delivery route including Reykjavik, as it continues fleet expansion.
