Stockholmsmässan has been awarded the Penguin Prize for its innovative ways of communicating with exhibitors and visitors in order to increase the volume of recycled material, which is one of many important climate goals for the City of Stockholm.
Last week, Stockholmsmässan reported that two of the spring’s biggest events – Formex and Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair which were due to be held in January and February have been cancelled. Now the decision has also been taken to postpone Nordbygg from April 20-23, 2021 to April 26-29, 2022.

After the decision from the Swedish government to limit public gatherings, Nordbygg will be postponed until the end of September 2020 instead of April 21-24 as earlier planned.
Until further notice Stockholmsmässan will not conduct events with more than 500 people. This is a result of today’s directions issued by the Swedish government to limit public gatherings due to the recent increase of the spread of COVID-19 in Sweden.
Nordbygg is seen by European actors in the construction sector as an increasingly important place to be. This year, one in five exhibitors is an international company.
This year, ventilation issues will have an even more expanded role at Nordbygg, when the industry organisation Svensk Ventilation (Swedish Ventilation) comes together with Svensk Automation (Swedish Automation) on the new stage - The Indoor Climate Arena.
This year’s Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, the world’s leading meeting place for Scandinavian design, will be held on February 4–8. The issue of sustainability is a clear presence in the designs, material choices and production processes of many exhibitors this year.
