A vibrant community like ours in Rangárþing eystra is built on strong culture. Culture connects people and makes the community attractive to live and work in. We want to nurture a dynamic cultural life by supporting organisations, businesses and individuals.
Our opportunities when it comes to deep-rooted culture, such as the Njáls Saga, are inexhaustible. We want to create a foundation and support so these opportunities are seized. Innovation is when an idea becomes something that creates real value: a product, service, solution or simply a better way of doing things.
