CONNECTING ICELAND TO THE WORLD
Iceland Exports is building a modern international platform focused on premium Icelandic experiences, products, technologies, and partnerships across beauty, travel, wellness, food, culture, and emerging innovation sectors.
THE STORY BEHIND ICELAND EXPORTS
During the COVID pandemic, co-founder Carl Lionel relocated to Iceland while studying at the University of Akureyri in North Iceland.
What began as an academic experience quickly became something much deeper — a connection to the Icelandic way of life, the culture, the landscape, and the values that make the country unlike anywhere else in the world.
Along the way, Carl connected with his future co-founder, another American with longstanding ties to Iceland and a home in North Iceland where his twin daughters attend school and learn the Icelandic language.
Together, they recognized an opportunity to build a modern international platform capable of introducing premium Icelandic products, experiences, innovation, and culture to a broader global audience.
Iceland Exports was born from that vision — creating meaningful connections between Iceland and the modern world.
