Since its inception in 1996, the Qingdao Fisheries Expo has grown into one of the most influential professional exhibitions in the global aquaculture sector. It has established a high-level economic and trade exchange platform for Chinese enterprises to connect with international markets and drive the upgrading of the fishery industry. This year's event has attracted renowned brands and enterprises from around the world to jointly explore new opportunities in a green, innovative, and sustainable marine economy.

As a leading global professional trade platform for the aquaculture industry, Aquaculture China covers an exhibition area of 115,000 square meters this year. It gathers premium aquatic products, processing equipment, aquaculture technologies, and cold chain solutions from around the world, comprehensively showcasing new products, technologies, and trends in the sector.

As a concurrent event, the "China-Netherlands Fisheries Business Matchmaking Session," co-hosted by the Embassy of the Netherlands in China, the Qingdao Representative Office of the Netherlands Promotion Council, and the Qingdao Council for the Promotion of International Trade, has become a highlight of this year's exhibition.

At the event, representatives from over 50 leading Chinese enterprises spanning seafood import, wholesale and retail, aquaculture, processing, cross-border e-commerce, and high-end catering services engaged in one-on-one business negotiations with 8 leading Dutch fisheries and seafood companies. Preliminary cooperation intentions were reached in areas such as import trade, technological collaboration, and supply chain synergy.
