Nor-Shipping brings together over 900+ exhibitors and over 3,000 industry professionals together from around the world. In such a busy exhibition environment, maximising visibility is crucial. Joining a shared pavilion as part of Team UK enables organisations to benefit from not only a highly visible UK-branded space but also gain access to additional on-the-ground networking support and a programme of events designed to build connections. Considering joining us at the 60th edition of Nor-Shipping in June 2025? Scroll through the post below to view some of the many benefits of becoming part of a shared UK Pavilion. Exhibition stands of up to 24 sqm and smaller exhibitor pod options are available. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eGRHQ5T3 Helen Stephen #NorShipping #Futureproof #UKExports
