ATLANTIC FAIR 2028
International Maritime Exhibition
May 30 - June 1 2028 - Klaksvík, Faroe Islands
Looking Ahead to Atlantic Fair 2028
Building on the Success of Atlantic Fair 2026
The 2026 edition of Atlantic Fair marked 25 years since the first exhibition, originally launched as the North Atlantic Fish Fair. Since then, the event has developed into one of the leading international meeting places for the maritime industry in the North Atlantic.
The 2026 event welcomed 4,875 visitors from 15 countries and brought together 183 exhibitors from 14 countries. Both exhibition halls were fully booked, and additional companies joined a waiting list.
From its beginnings, Atlantic Fair has played an important role in supporting and showcasing the maritime industry. The exhibition provides a valuable platform for companies, industry professionals, authorities and decision-makers to meet, exchange knowledge and explore new opportunities.
During the past decades, the Faroe Islands have undergone significant development. Modern infrastructure now connects more than 90% of the population, while continued investment in fishing vessels, aquaculture, maritime technology and renewable energy is helping shape the future of the islands.
The Faroese maritime sector remains central to the country’s economy and plays an increasingly important role internationally. Atlantic Fair reflects this development by bringing together companies and professionals from across the maritime value chain.
Preparations for Atlantic Fair 2028 are now under way. In cooperation with Klaksvík Municipality, the next exhibition will take place in Klaksvík from 30 May to 1 June 2028.
We look forward to welcoming exhibitors, visitors and industry professionals to three inspiring days of innovation, collaboration and new business opportunities.

Welcome to Klaksvík – The Hub of Faroese Fisheries and Maritime Tradition
As Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands, it is my honour to invite you back to Klaksvík for the 2026 Atlantic Fair – our international maritime exhibition.
In May 2024, the 11th edition of Atlantic Fair welcomed 3,600 visitors from 23 countries, with 183 exhibitors representing 15 nations.
The event reaffirmed Klaksvík’s status as a dynamic hub in the global fisheries and maritime sectors.
Atlantic Fair reflects our ongoing dedication to fisheries, aquaculture and renewable energy. These are vital pillars of Faroese society and economy.
The sea has shaped our islands for generations.
Today, as we face climate change and evolving global markets, innovation and cooperation are more important than ever. That is why events like Atlantic Fair are crucial. They connect people and businesses, spark new ideas and help us share solutions across borders.
During these next three days, I encourage you to explore the exhibition, attend insightful lectures and engage.
Enjoy Klaksvík and the warm Faroese welcome. I hope the 2026 Atlantic Fair inspires you and strengthens our shared vision for the seas.
Beinir Johannesen
Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands
Welcome to Klaksvík
It is a great honor once again to welcome you all to Klaksvík – the fishing capital of the Faroe Islands – for the Atlantic Fair 2026.
For generations, the fishing industry has not only been a cornerstone of the Faroese economy but also a vital part of our identity and way of life. Today, the industry stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, where sustainable practices and technological advancement go hand in hand.
In recent years, we have seen remarkable progress in the Faroese fisheries sector. New vessels have entered the fleet, built with cutting-edge technology to minimize environmental impact and increase efficiency. Energy solutions are evolving. Digitalization is transforming operations. And new generations of professionals are bringing fresh ideas and perspectives to the table.
The Atlantic Fair reflects this spirit of innovation. It brings together people from across the globe to exchange ideas, form partnerships, and showcase the best of what the marine and maritime sectors have to offer. Here in Klaksvík, we are proud to host this important event, which not only supports the development of the industry but also strengthens our international relationships.
During these three days, we hope you find inspiration, build strong connections, and experience the Faroese spirit of hospitality. Klaksvík offers not only a setting for professional dialogue but also a chance to explore our culture, our nature, and our community.
As Mayor of Klaksvík, I would like to thank all participants, organizers, and visitors for being here. On behalf of the Town Council, I wish you a successful, productive, and memorable Atlantic Fair 2026.
Welcome to Klaksvík – and welcome to the future of fisheries.
Kind regards,
Karl H. Johansen
Mayor of Klaksvík
