How to prepare commercial prospecting for IceFish 2026
- Prioritize meetings in the free matchmaking. Booking B2B sessions allows you to set goals per client and save time at the fair.
- Bring material focused on use cases. The published contacts point to interest in digital platforms, hygiene solutions and equipment for processing plants.
- Define three brief commercial messages: value proposition for vessel owners, for aquaculture producers and for processing plants. Separating audiences helps accelerate the first meeting.
- Take advantage of the presence of themed hubs to place demonstrations or technical showreels in the corresponding space.
These steps apply both to exhibitors and to commercial visitors looking to trial suppliers or prepare a partner search.
