Right now, the Fisheries Incentive Award was presented at the annual conference of the Association of Companies in the Fisheries Sector.

Dr. Hólmfríður Sveinsdóttir, who manages the company IceProtein in Sauðárkrókur, received the Fisheries Incentive Award given at the annual conference of the Association of Fisheries Companies in 2016. IceProtein and Protis recently launched a new product line based on years of research into the health benefits of fish proteins. We find this an extremely interesting initiative by a powerful entrepreneur in the field of research and development in rural areas. 

Jens Garðar Helgason, chairman of the Association of Companies in the Fisheries Sector, and Karen Kjartansdóttir, Communications Director of the Association of Companies in the Fisheries Sector, presented the award.

IceProtein in Sauðárkrókur is a powerful company that works on research and development of the processing of valuable substances, mainly from seafood, with the aim of increasing utilization and value creation in the fisheries sector. Iceprotein has four employees as well as research students.

Matís wishes Hólmfríður and the staff of IceProtein as well as FISK Seafood, sincere congratulations on the award.
