About DanFish International
There has, since 1974 with 2-3 year intervals been held fishing fairs in Aalborg. Aalborg is geographically the center for over half of the registered Danish fishermen. The fair has always been marketed as "The fishermen's own Fair". The fair is targeted both at the industry's large as well as small providers, and focuses primarily on equipment for the fisherman, his boat and fishing gear. With the name change to DanFish International in 1996 the international aim was increased and the development has continued ever since.
Already in 1993, there are ongoing cooperation with the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through embassies and consulates to provide foreign visitors to the fair. This work was intensified in 1996, where it changed its name to the internationally more euphonious name "DanFish International" and around half a million Danish kroner were set at stake for these visits. It was a success, with participating delegations from 16 countries, totaling about 140 persons.
Since 2007, the invited buyers are identified in collaboration with the Danish Export Association and in 2011 the foreign delegations consisted of approx. 100 persons from 25 countries.
At all fairs in Aalborg the stand area, which today is around 9000 m2, has been sold out. Due to an increased number of exhibitors it has been necessary to expand the exhibition space, namely with 1 mobile hall in the nearby Kildeparken.
Steering committe and partners
In the steering committe are representatives of Danish Export Association (Danish Fishing Equipment Group), Danish Fishermen's Association, Danish Fishermen's Producers' Association and Aalborg Kongres & Kultur Center. The committee meets every 5 to 6 months to discuss progress, exchange ideas and distribute tasks.
About DanAqua
For many years, Aalborg Congress & Culture Centre has worked to establish an aquaculture fair as an extension to DanFish International. Globally, aquaculture is a foodstuff segment that's growing rapidly, and Danish companies are market leaders when it comes to farming technologies, systems and facilities. Many companies have shown an interest in establishing such a trade fair and they have provided Aalborg Congress & Culture Centre with significant support in our attempts to bring together the fishing and fish farming industries such that they can benefit from each other's skills and experiences, thereby helping to further the interests of both industries.
DanAqua launched in 2011 and the first fair was granted an exclusive site in the Europe Hall where 25 exhibitors from 5 different countries participated.
DanAqua provides both Danish and foreign suppliers to the aquaculture sector the opportunity to gain exposure in Denmark.
