“As Þór often says, the coffee machine is the real meeting place, and we have found that to be true.”

What is Ístækni ehf., and when did they join the Cluster?
“Ístækni ehf. is an Icelandic engineering and service company specializing in equipment, manufacturing, automation and technical services for the seafood and aquaculture industries. We joined the Iceland Ocean Cluster in 2024, although our team has actually been based in the Cluster before through 3X Technology and later Skaginn3X. In many ways, this feels like coming home.”
Why did Ístækni ehf. join the Cluster?
“We joined the Cluster because it brings together companies with a shared passion for innovation and value creation in the blue economy. Being part of this environment makes it easy to exchange ideas, build relationships and discover new opportunities.”
One recent example of something the Cluster has offered or supported that has been useful.
“One example of the value of the Cluster is the collaboration that happens every day. As Þór often says, the coffee machine is the real meeting place, and we have found that to be true. Informal conversations have recently led to sharing customer leads with neighbouring companies and exploring project opportunities together. That open and collaborative atmosphere is one of the Cluster’s greatest strengths.”
