The 14th Icelandic Fisheries, Seafood & Aqua Exhibition, running 18-20 September 2024, marks 40 years of the industry-leading event and the busiest IceFish programme to-date.
Being staged at Smárinn, Fifan Halls Kópavogur, the event will feature some 500 exhibitors/brands from Iceland and the rest of the world. Included in this year’s coming together are national pavilions from Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Norway.
IceFish 2024 is also welcoming more than 40 new exhibiting companies and help them showcase their products, services and solutions. Illustrating the growing international importance of the show, these ventures are arriving from 10 different countries, including South Africa, Turkey, Germany and Italy. There are also a number of Icelandic firms making their debut, demonstrating the local importance of the event, particularly for aspiring companies looking to get a foothold in the country’s fishing, processing, seafood and by-product sectors.
The expectation is that this year, a bumper crowd of some 12,000 people will visit IceFish and its surrounding events over the course of the three days. Alongside the exhibition, the programme is featuring matchmaking meetings, the 9th Icelandic Fisheries Awards recognising excellence in the Icelandic and international fisheries and seafood sectors, and a new Exhibitor’s Presentation Theatre.
Also included is the 5th Fish Waste for Profit Conference, which will dive into the globally important area of 100% fish utilisation. This hugely popular conference is being held in the Hilton Nordica Reykjavík.
