In May, Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq will open its doors to ArcticExpo 2026 in Nuuk.
The capital will thus become a gathering point for companies and investors within the fishing and maritime industries, the municipality writes on their website.
The trade fair focuses on the development of the fishing industry – one of Greenland’s most important industries – and on how new investments and collaborations can help ensure growth and jobs in the future.
Fishing is Greenland’s most important export sector and plays a central role in both employment and economic activity. The industry creates jobs throughout the entire value chain – from catch and processing to transport and export and is of great importance for the development of local communities.
- ArcticExpo 2026 helps to put the spotlight on one of our most important industries. For us, it is about creating a good framework for companies, strengthening cooperation and supporting the development of jobs – both in Nuuk and in the rest of the municipality, says Mayor of Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq Avaaraq Olsen (IA).
For Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq, hosting the fair is also an opportunity to strengthen the dialogue with the business community and international players. At the same time, it is an opportunity to put the spotlight on the opportunities that lie in developing the fishing and maritime industries in the municipality.
