The Ísland.is app is nominated in the category of App of the Year and Ísland.is website and Ísland.is My pages are nominated in the category of Public Web of the Year. The access to both the website and the app has increased dramatically. In 2023, Ísland.is received almost 18 million visits and the number of agencies who have moved their website to Ísland.is is growing steadily. 25 institutions and public projects had moved their official website and content to Ísland.is by the end of 2023, and are expected to be around 50 by the end of the year. In addition, about 140 thousand people have downloaded the Ísland.is app.

The government has set the goal that Iceland will be the leader in public digital services and surveys show that the work is progressing well. Digital services are already making life simpler for people, saving time while improving the service.
