Connecting global seafood professionals, markets, and opportunities
Each year, Barcelona becomes the international epicenter of the seafood industry thanks to the celebration of Seafood Expo Global, the world’s largest event dedicated to this sector. From April 21 to 23, the city brings together thousands of professionals, companies, and experts from around the globe, creating a key space for exchange, innovation, and business opportunities.
If you are planning to visit Barcelona during these dates, this event represents an excellent opportunity to experience one of the most dynamic sectors of the global economy up close.
What is Seafood Expo Global?
Seafood Expo Global is the most important international trade fair dedicated to seafood and its entire value chain. It gathers producers, distributors, importers, exporters, as well as professionals from the horeca and retail sectors.
Throughout the event, you will find:
- Fresh, frozen, and processed products
- Technological solutions and industry innovations
- International suppliers from all continents
- Networking spaces and partnership opportunities
It is a must-attend event for those who want to discover the latest trends and opportunities in the global market.
A key event for professionals and businesses
Beyond the commercial exhibition, the fair offers a comprehensive program of conferences and meetings addressing some of the sector’s major challenges: the sustainability of marine resources, traceability and transparency in the supply chain, and innovation in production and distribution.
In this context, the commitment of companies to responsible models that respect both the environment and workers’ rights becomes especially relevant. Choosing seafood in a sustainable and responsible way is essential to ensure the future of our planet.
The venue: innovation and accessibility
The event takes place at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, one of the most modern and largest exhibition venues in Europe. It is easily accessible by public transport—metro, bus, or taxi—and the journey takes around 30 minutes, depending on traffic, especially during peak hours.
Barcelona: an experience beyond the fair
Making the most of your stay during Seafood Expo Global is also an opportunity to discover the essence of Barcelona. From strolling along our beloved La Rambla, where Hotel Continental Barcelona is located, or along Rambla de Catalunya—one of the city’s most elegant avenues and home to Hotel Continental Palacete—to enjoying Mediterranean cuisine (we recommend our selection of iconic restaurants in this post) or exploring the city’s rich cultural heritage.
All of this will provide you with a complete and enriching experience during your stay in Barcelona.
