For two decades, Iðan Education Centre has been a driving force for knowledge, skills, and development in Icelandic trades. Since its establishment in 2006, Iðan has connected education and industry, supported professionalism, and laid the foundation for a stronger future for industry in Iceland.
In 2026, we will celebrate our 20th anniversary – a milestone that reflects the success, strong collaboration, and achievements of countless individuals who have built their knowledge with Iðan. This is a story of people who learn, grow, and create.
Iðan is a platform where experience and innovation meet. We support vocational education, continuing education, and professional development so that Icelandic industries remain strong – today and in the future.
The anniversary year is an occasion to look both back and forward. We celebrate what has been achieved and continue to build knowledge, enhance skills, and support the next generation of professionals.
The story of Iðan is one of development, collaboration, and a constant search for better solutions for the benefit of Icelandic industries. Over the past two decades, new opportunities have emerged, along with new paths in education and continuing professional development, and a stronger connection between people and professionalism.
The timeline below provides insight into the main milestones on this journey – from the first steps to the diverse projects and successes that shape Iðan's operations today.
Each milestone tells its own story of change, progress, and, of course, the people who have contributed.

Iðunn's logo has been given a special ceremonial look to mark this milestone and highlight the journey the company has taken over the last two decades.
The anniversary design is based on Iðunn's current logo, thus maintaining a strong connection to the company's visual identity. The design plays with the balance between the isometric form of the symbol and the softer lines of the number 20, creating a whole that is both festive and modern.
The ceremonial logo will be used in promotions during the anniversary year – on Iðunn's website, on social media, and at events. This will highlight Iðunn's history and its role in serving industries in Iceland in a clear and memorable way.
The tagline “Development and knowledge for 20 years” underscores the core of Iðunn's work and its importance for vocational training, education, and development within Icelandic industry.
Iðunn's logo was designed by Halla Mixa and the ceremonial design by Anna Pálína at Hvíta húsið.
