Outside the magnificant Hallgrímskirkja church, the largest in Iceland that can be found in central Reykjavik, stands the statue of Leif Eriksson also known as Leif the Lucky – the greatest of Vikings.

Leif was the son of Erik the Red, founder of the first European settlement on what is now called Greenland.

Today I was invited to do a presentation about ’Global Trade 2.0 and AEO’ at the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprise in Reykjavik. The presentation was also streamed online.

After the speech I had bilateral meetings with Icelandic companies and I did an press/media interview with the largest daily paper of Iceland.
