After a bruising few years for the Dutch fishing industry, Holland’s only dedicated fishing industry exhibition will be taking place in Urk later this year.
This is the seventh time that organisers Stichting Visserijdagen Urk brings the event to De Koningshof, this time after a change in management.
‘The Dutch fleet is in recovery mode after the reorganisation and looking for new innovative opportunities. This is reflected in the needs of both exhibitors and visitors who indicate a need for networking,’ the organisers state.
‘For this reason, the Holland Fisheries Event this year consists not only of an exhibition, but also of a conference on the same exhibition floor, with the theme of Developments in Fisheries.’
Exhibition space for the Holland Fisheries Event is already close to being sold out, and the event is scheduled to take place on 3rd and 4th October at De Koningshof in Urk, providing a meeting point for the Dutch and European fishing sectors.
