Professional Program

Professional highlights

During Nor-Fishing a number of seminars, mini-conferences, presentations, lectures and debates are organized to contribute to give visitors an up-date on professional information. Some of these events are organized by the Nor-Fishing Foundation, and others by various institutions, exhibitors and companies.

The official program run throughout the exhibition days at Trondheim Spektrum.

Nor-Fishing aims to engage the entire city of Trondheim in the event and invites relevant stakeholders to apply for participation in the official program – including events held outside the exhibition area.

As part of Nor-Fishing’s continued development, we are creating opportunities for industry players to host their own professional programmes, meetings and quarterly results presentations at the exhibition venue.

The Innovation Award, the Environment Award and other awards

Every year various awards are presented to representatives of the industry. The Nor-Fishing Foundation Innovation Award was established in 2003 in order to stimulate innovation among the exhibitors and suppliers in the industry. Over the years, the Innovation Awards has helped bring new ideas to market.

The Directorate of Fisheries’ Environment Award is presented to a producer or supplier who has come up with a solution that helps improve or safeguard the environment. The Award has been presented for many years and is highly regarded by the industry.

Since 2013, the Nor-Fishing Foundation has given the Best Stand Award to the most attractive and efficient stand at the show.

The Student Day and Student Camp

In order to grow, the industry must appeal to and bring on board the brightest minds. Therefore, the Nor-Fishing Foundation has established the Student Day in collaboration with NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Brohode Havbruk 2050 and regional partners.

All students have access to the exhibition area free of charge all days. The Student Day is arranged on Thurday, the last day of Nor-Fishing. A separate seminar will be arranged to inspire the students before they visit the exhibition area. Here students can meet companies and organizations. The Nor-Fishing exhibition is an important event where professionals and students can come together to network and explore job and partnership prospects.
