Our booth at the expo can accommodate up to 10 companies, and it will be designed taking into account the wishes of participating companies.

WHAT IS NORDIC BRAND LICENSING MARKET?
The first Nordic Brand Licensing Market took place in Helsinki in 2016 and hosted Nordic brands and licensing partners from around the world. It was a great success, and international licensing professionals have been inquiring about a new occasion to meet Nordic companies and evaluate the business potential of our corner of the world ever since. In April 2018, Nordic Brand Licensing Market visited Licensing Expo Japan in Tokyo, and organised a VIP-breakfast event at the Finnish Embassy there. In October 2018 Nordic Brand Licensing Market brought 12 companies to London, to pitch at the Finnish Ambassador's residence and exhibit at the NBLM booth at the Brand Licensing Europe expo.
