TVÍK won Gul­leg­gið in­nov­a­tion com­pet­i­tion 2022

8 February 2022 - Landsbankinn

The business idea TVÍK won the innovation competition of Icelandic Startups, Gulleggið 2022. TVÍK, or the technologically venturesome Icelandic coach, is an interactive teaching tool that uses cutting-edge language technology to teach Icelandic to beginners. Atli Jasonarson, Gamithra Marga and Safa Jemai are the team behind TVÍK.

Second place went to SEIFER, a project that is designing and developing sports equipment and a database for real-team measurement and gathering of data about head trauma. The data gathering function of the equipment can be used to improve the recovery process and response plans for sports-related concussion injuries. The SEIFER team is comprised of Guðrún Inga Marinósdóttir, Davíð Andersson and Bjarki Snorrason.

The Lilja app took third place, an app designed to provide assistance and improve the legal and social standing of abuse victims. Ingunn Henriksen and Árdís Rut Einarsdóttir are the team behind the app.

About Gulleggið innovation competition

Icelandic Startups hosts the annual Gulleggið competition as a platform for innovators in all fields to develop and launch their ideas.
