DanFish

Well over 14,000 visitors attended the 26th edition of DanFish, an event dedicated to the international fishing industry and held at the Aalborg Congress & Culture Centre in northern Denmark. Held every two years the event this year boasted over 400 exhibitors from 30 countries and visitors from 50 including Norway, the US, and China. Demand for stand space was so strong that the organisers expanded the available area to include, for the first time ever, the lowest floor of the centre, which could accommodate 44 stands. Interest in DanFish stems not least from the fact that Denmark is an important fishing nation and among the world’s biggest exporters of fish and seafood. Denmark is also an important platform for the trade in certain high value commodities, such as northern prawn (Pandalus borealis), and has a reputation for high quality technical solutions for the fishing industry.
