Innovation House

Innovation House was founded by Jon von Tetzchner, a successful technology entrepreneur currently living in Gloucester, near Boston Massachusetts. The idea behind the Innovation House is simple. Incubating local startups and entrepreneurs in Iceland by providing inexpensive turn key office facilities, as well as networking and collaboration space. The Innovation House is conveniently located in a shopping center at Eidistorg, not so far from the house he grew up in, places he has lots of fun childhood memories from. Even though Jon lived in Norway for many years and is now in the US he still has a large extended family in Iceland. He had been thinking of how he could contribute to the economic development of Iceland after the financial crisis. So, when he came to know that the office building in Eidistorg shopping center was up for sale, the idea for Innovation House was born.
