Thinking of investing in Iceland? Or, are you interested in attracting Icelandic investors to consider U.S. opportunities? Did you know Iceland, America’s closest European neighbor, ranks fifth in the 2006 Index of Economic Freedom, published by The Wall Street Journal and the World Heritage Foundation? It tied with the U.K., and was well ahead of 11th-ranked U.S.
What’s more, the country ranks fourth in competitiveness worldwide according to the IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook 2005, following the U.S., Hong Kong and Singapore.
These and other little-known facts about investing in Iceland will be featured during a conference on Thursday, Mar. 2 in New York hosted by the Icelandic-American Chamber of Commerce.
Learn about this Land of the Midnight Sun – the dynamic, pure and unspoiled country in the North Atlantic with huge incentives for U.S. businesses. Government, business and financial leaders of Iceland will be there to outline Iceland’s business-friendly policies, its well educated labor force that almost universally speaks English, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and stable political system. It’s the perfect opportunity to network with others engaged in trade between Iceland and North America, particularly Icelandic investors interested in the U.S.
