A little idea hatched at the University becomes imperative in vaccine distribution
The Icelandic company Contolant has regularly been in the media recently as their products play a key part in monitoring the Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19 currently being distributed all over the world. A less known fact is that the idea for the software and mechanism used for monitoring the vaccine was hatched at the University of Iceland early this century. The company has grown rapidly in recent years and there are prospects for even further growth, according to Gísli Herjólfsson and Erlingur Brynjúlfsson, two of the founders and executives of the company. They took the time from their busy schedule to answer a few questions about the company.
When and where was the idea for Controlant born at the University of Iceland?
