Held under the High Patronage of His Majesty the King, the Halieutis Trade Show is the leading event for Morocco's fishing industry. Its 8th edition will take place in Agadir from 27 to 31 January 2027, around the theme "Food sovereignty and the sustainability of fisheries resources". For companies in the sector — shipowners, processors, equipment manufacturers, institutions — it's a rare opportunity to meet private operators, government bodies and international partners all in one place. But a stand for this show follows a different logic from a general trade show.

1. The Halieutis Trade Show, a key event for the industry

Since it began, the Halieutis Trade Show has brought together in Agadir every player in Morocco's marine fishing industry: professionals in catching, processing, aquaculture, equipment and research, alongside the sector's public authorities. The theme chosen for 2027 — food sovereignty and resource sustainability — sets the tone: exhibitors who highlight their traceability, sustainability and international compliance efforts will be under particular scrutiny this edition.

2. A sector with its own stand constraints

Unlike a tech trade show or a classic food-industry event, the fishing sector imposes specific display constraints: showcasing products that are sometimes perishable or refrigerated, presenting fishing or processing equipment that's often bulky, and a frequent need for technical demonstration areas (packaging, traceability and preservation equipment).

  • Planning for cold equipment or refrigerated display units if the stand shows products
  • Planning ahead for the space and power supply needed for demonstration equipment
  • Moisture-resistant stand materials, suited to a coastal environment

3. Planning a real product demonstration area

Halieutis's professional visitors — buyers, distributors, institutional partners — come with concrete expectations: seeing a product, testing a piece of equipment, discussing a spec sheet. A stand that keeps a clear, open space for this kind of exchange, rather than saturating the surface with visual communication, makes longer, more qualified business conversations easier.

4. An institutional audience not to be underestimated

Held under High Patronage and backed by the Secretariat of State for Maritime Fisheries, Halieutis also attracts official delegations and international partners. A stand that can properly host an institutional visit — a presentable reception area, clear signage, professional documentation on hand — strengthens the exhibitor's credibility beyond simple business contact.

5. Our support for this type of trade show

At Ze Agency, designing a stand for an industry-specific trade show like Halieutis follows our usual process — brief, 3D design, manufacturing in our in-house workshop, installation — with particular attention paid to technical constraints specific to the sector: integrating cold equipment, power supply for demonstration equipment, materials suited to intensive use over several days.

With the edition still more than six months away, companies that plan their brief now secure a genuinely custom design, rather than a standard solution for lack of time.
