Last update: 4 hours agoIceland in the spotlight (and in the fine print): Eurovision’s 70th run-up in Vienna is getting louder, with Israel-related campaigning triggering a formal warning to broadcaster Kan after calls for viewers to “vote 10 times,” plus wider boycott pressure and security talk around the event’s tight no-drone “Geozone.” Nordic business diplomacy: PM Modi’s five-nation swing (May 15–20) is framed as an energy-security push after West Asia shocks—starting in the UAE, then the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Italy—ending with the India-Nordic Summit in Oslo where Iceland is in the mix. Iceland industry updates: Alvotech says the FDA has completed a routine cGMP surveillance inspection at its Reykjavik site, issuing a Form 483 that it expects to be fixable quickly, clearing the way for biosimilar BLA resubmissions later in 2026. Climate pressure at home: Scientists report mosquitoes just north of Reykjavík, ending Iceland’s “no mosquitoes” status and underscoring how fast Arctic warming is reshaping ecosystems. Energy & metals: Century Aluminum is expanding at Grundartangi, Iceland, while pushing an Oklahoma smelter project—both tied to shifting supply and demand from the Iran-war era.
