Grants for women entrepreneurs in Iceland have been awarded since 1991 when Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, Minister of Social affairs, decided to give women entrepreneurs an opportunity to make funds more available to make their business ideas come true.

Since then these grants have been awarded once a year and around 20.million icelandic kronas have been awarded to women all over the country every year.

Grants have already been awarded for this year but in the beginning of the year 2011 applicants will be able to apply again. Further information will be put on the website.

This website is for the purpose of giving women an opportunity to get information and consultation regarding their ideas and also  it is possible to apply for the grant.
