When attending an exhibition, a company has many decisions that need to be made. Some of the decisions are whether they should go solo and design their own stand or should they participate in a national pavilion?
Whether you are a newbie at exhibiting, or a veteran, participating by joining forces in national pavilions, will always be an advantage. National pavilions offer an attractive business development opportunity under one flag, that is especially beneficial for SMEs.
6 reasons why it can be beneficial to exhibit in a national pavilion:
- Your company will exhibit in a larger location, hence there are greater prospects for visibility.
- Participating under one flag can help save money. This is especially a good idea to first-timers who don’t know the exhibition and want to be present without the biggest investment of time and money.
- You will be part of a stronger community. Thereby there is a bigger chance you’ll be invited to networking events and other activities.
- You’ll be part of a common branding and marketing strategy, before, during and after the event. This gives you a big advantage compared to your competitors.
- The organisation behind you will have experience and be familiar with the exhibition. They’ll take care of the practicalities and the requirements. It gives an ease of participation for you in a stress-free way.
- Joining a national pavilion makes it much easier for visitors to locate you on the exhibition floor.

The Danish and Norwegian national pavilions are always an attraction to visit at international maritime trade fairs, and the fact that they are joining forces at Europort for the first time will benefit all parties.”

The Pavilion of Denmark – to ease your participation
The Danish Export Association has organized joint stands at international trade fairs for more than 50 years. The companies can fully trust that they will help you with a stand that really suits your company’s needs. By joining the Team Denmark – Norway Pavilion, your company becomes part of a strong community, branded as part of a strong sector, which stands strong against customers and competitors. Together with the rest of the companies, you will attract more people to the stand, and you’ll even experience that the companies help each other in sharing contacts and knowledge with you.
“We have seen multiple examples of companies benefitting from collaborations and partnerships that started by being part of Pavilion of Denmark. So, while the pavilion gives you a strong foothold in both market and sector, it can also serve as a stepping stone towards export projects with other Danish sector colleagues,” Mie J. Jakobsen, Head of Marine at Danish Export Associations, says.
Lean back and let Danish Export Association take care of practicalities, while you focus on customers and strengthen the business.
