On Friday 19 March, Oddur Már Gunnarsson, CEO of Matís ohf. against Gunnar Þorgeirsson, chairman of the board of Garðyrkjuskóli Íslands, at Matís' premises at Vínlandsleið. The purpose of the visit was to discuss the continuation of the collaborative projects of the two parties in the field of horticulture and related fields and the many possibilities inherent in the collaboration.
Over the years, Matís has worked on various projects related to cultivation and agriculture in collaboration with both domestic and foreign parties. With an increased emphasis on environmental issues, public health and sustainability in society, the need for further knowledge and more diverse activities in this field has steadily increased. It is therefore hoped that increased collaboration between Matís and the Icelandic School of Horticulture will lead to even greater growth when it comes to research and innovation in this field.
At the meeting, Oddur Már and Gunnar signed the following declaration of intent:
,, Matís ohf. Id. 670906-0190 hereby confirms its willingness to increase collaboration on research and development projects in horticulture in collaboration with the representative of the Icelandic Horticultural School, ID no. 560720-0410 and related parties.
In recent years, Matís has collaborated with a number of parties in the field of Icelandic horticulture, and that collaboration has been characterized by professional ambition, mutual trust and respect in communication. "
Gunnar Þorgeirsson expects benefits from the collaboration and in an interview with Bændablaðið that came out this week, he says :. "There are many tasks waiting to be solved and we have the experience that within Matís there is both professional ability and collaboration ability. We are therefore looking forward to the sequel ".
