Trade Mission: Aquaculture China 2026
Trade Mission (markedsbesøk) for å utforske det kinesiske markedet. Du vil få markedsinnsikt, eksport- og internasjonal handelsinformasjon, og lære om kinesisk forretningskultur.
As demand grows for higher-quality seafood and more sustainable aquaculture, China is seeking solutions to modernise its aquaculture industry and investing more in large-scale offshore fish farms and land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). This trend, driven by both ongoing and new projects, is creating opportunities for Norwegian aquaculture technology companies.
When: Week 44 (specific date to be confirmed): Trade Mission (market visit) to explore the Chinese market. You will gain market insights, information on exports and international trade, and learn about Chinese business culture.

- Your company must have clear growth ambitions and be willing to invest its own time and resources in the work.
