Seminars

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 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.

Student Day

The industry needs to attract the best minds in order to develop further. Therefore, the Nor-Fishing Foundation has established a separate Student Day with good help from NTNU, Brohode Havbruk 2050 and regional partners.

The student day is held on the last day of Nor-Fishing, Friday, and all students get access to the fair free of charge. A separate seminar will be arranged to inspire the students before they visit the exhibition area, where they can meet companies and organizations who want to cooperate or are looking for new employees. In 2017, more than 200 students attended this event.
