Student’s day at Aqua Nor 2023
As usual, the Student Day is held on the last day of Aqua Nor – this time a Thursday. All students get access to the exhibition free of charge. The Students Day starts with a seminar in the main meeting room. Students are then invited to visit the exhibition area, where companies and organizations are eager to talk about collaboration or job opportunities.
The aquaculture sector needs to attract a wide range of experts and professionals in order to develop further. Aqua Nor is the world’s largest aquaculture technology exhibition and an important international meeting place for the aquaculture industry, taking place in Trondheim every other year. It draws about 25,000 visitors from up to 76 nations to its halls. All the latest innovations of importance in technology, processes and services related to farming salmon, marine species, mollusks etc are presented here.
This is a unique opportunity to learn more about this dynamic sector, the second largest in Norway, and to expand your network!
