“We continue to see a healthy growth in the total exhibit space and can report that we already have surpassed last year’s exhibit space by 1,000 square meters,” said Plizga. “This mirrors the strength of the industry and that meeting face-to-face matters to buyers and sellers. Brussels remains a crucial destination for doing business in the seafood industry.”
