Best Trade Shows in Norway

24 tracked shows, ranked by exhibitor count

Norway's exhibition industry is compact but internationally significant, built around its maritime and ocean economy. The principal venue is Norges Varemesse (Norway Trade Fairs) in Lillestrøm, just outside Oslo. The economy centres on oil and gas, seafood and shipping, with aquaculture and fisheries underpinning record seafood exports. These sectors anchor internationally recognised fairs: ONS in Stavanger for energy, Nor-Shipping in the Oslo/Lillestrøm area for maritime industries, and Aqua Nor in Trondheim, described as the world's largest aquaculture technology exhibition. Exhibition activity concentrates in Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim.

The Event Scout catalog currently lists 24 trade shows in Norway with editions in 2026 & 2027. Together they host an estimated 2,409 exhibitors, led by Nordic EV Summit (an estimated 983 exhibitors). Sizeable exhibitor lists are already indexed for 5 of them — Nordic EV Summit (974 companies), Oslo Tech Show (180), OTD Energy 2027 (153). Events run across 8 cities including Lillestrøm, Oslo and Stavanger. The tracked calendar opens with "www.ntfslandsmote.no" (29–31 Oct 2026).
