On August 24-26, the Load Up North fair will be held at Boden Energi Arena. At the municipality of Boden’s generous stand, you get a taste of Boden from the catering, exhibitors and stage.
Load up North is a meeting place for the major construction industry in northern Sweden. The focus is on construction machinery, transportation, road and construction, agriculture and forestry, but also service and aftermarket.
The fair also has a knowledge section with interesting speakers and topical themes and places for good business and networking.
To create the right dynamics and business opportunities, the fair is divided into five attractive sectoral areas:
- Construction machinery
- Transportation
- Road & Construction
- Soil & Forest
- Recruitment
Come to Boden’s stand
The municipality of Boden is participating with the fair’s largest stand, where we have a restaurant, a meeting place where visitors can mingle and socialize with us and other visitors, and a stage. On stage, we will run programs all three afternoons related to the societal transformation opportunities that are being created for the entrepreneurial industry and many others here in Boden now.
Dialogues on stage
On stage, you will hear from some of H2 Green Steel’s major subcontractors, and of course H2 Green Steel itself. But also our business manager, immigration service, the skills supply team, Invest in Norrbotten, researchers in new areas that are growing here in the north and other interesting voices. There will also be an opportunity for the audience to ask their own questions.
