Aqua Nor, one of the leading convention events for the global aquaculture industry, is hosted every two years in Trondheim, Norway. The event, which this year is set to take place from 19 to 21 August, hosts a special pavilion for businesses involved in Scotland's aquaculture industry supply chain, this year to be hosted by Highlands and Islands Enterprises (HIE) alongside the Sustainable Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC).
This year, HIE is inviting supply chain companies to get involved by featuring in a new brochure which seeks to showcase the presence of the Scottish aquaculture industry at the event.
"It would be very hard to overstate the importance of Aqua Nor to Scotland’s aquaculture supply chain. It offers fantastic opportunities for companies to showcase their products and services to a global audience and make new business connections," said Elaine Jamieson, HIE head of blue economy, in a press release.
"After the 2023 event, every participant from Scotland reported that their organisation benefited from attending the show, with more than half saying it led to more sales and new customers," she added.
The Scotland pavilion at Aqua Nor 2025 is supported by the Scottish Government’s Marine Fund, set up to help deliver Scotland’s Blue Economy Vision for the use and management of the country’s marine environment and resources.
"We’re really looking forward to hosting the pavilion again this year. It’s so important that we build on the profile raising carried out at previous events and make sure Scotland continues to have a strong presence on this global aquaculture stage," Jamieson concluded.
Companies interested in finding out more about taking part are invited to contact HIE through the Aqua Nor page on the events and training section of its website.
