Energy transition and digitalization are reshaping maritime operations, and Nor-Shipping 2027 takes place at a moment when technical debate and commercial decisions matter. The event runs from 7 to 11 June 2027, with the exhibition open 8 to 11 June at Nova Spektrum in Lillestrøm.

The agenda combines conferences, sector activities and distributed content across multiple rooms. The 2027 theme is built around navigating uncertainty, evolving technologies and business models, executing maritime ambitions and transforming the industry. The main new hall will stage sessions on AI applications, ports and maritime marketing and communication.

How to prepare B2B prospecting at Nor-Shipping 2027
-
Define target subsectors. Prioritize niches such as maritime cargo, port logistics or naval engineering and identify companies that match those needs.
-
Schedule meetings. Use the programme tools to block time during the exhibition window 8–11 June. Plan 30 to 40 minute slots for technical demos.
-
Technical-commercial message. Lead with technical capability, certifications or concrete use cases in your first outreach. Bring detailed technical documentation and commercial proposals to the follow-up meeting.
-
Live demonstrations. If your product integrates with ship or port systems, prepare demonstrations that highlight interoperability and operational savings.
-
Team composition. Deploy at least one technical and one commercial representative per stand or meeting round to convert technical interest into commercial decisions.
Exhibition staging and Hall G
The new entrance hall doubles as a visible meeting point and a stage for short-form content. Presentations need to be concise and action-oriented to attract an audience in 15 to 25 minute slots.
