About Us
Nordic Fish Exports is a limited liability company registered in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. The entity navigates within the industry of technological and analytical services by offering interactive visualizations and tables for Nordic fish products in international markets. Nordic Fish Exports simplifies the complex patterns of Nordic fish trade and offers a combined solution to the industry and other parties of interest.
The company was established by Jákup and Steffan, both of whom share a Faroese background. Like our Nordic neighbours in Norway, Iceland, and Greenland, the Faroe Islands are deeply connected to the fishing and aquaculture industries that have long sustained life in the North Atlantic. Fittingly, it was a seminar about mackerel and herring negotiations in the North Atlantic that served as the forum where the founders first met. Although the founders have hands-on experience in the industry, it is especially their shared and playful engagement with the complexity of the international fish trade that shapes the services of Nordic Fish Exports. Furthermore, Jákup and Steffan’s differing backgrounds in International Business/Relations and Computer Science bring additional perspective, value, and nuance to the traditional fishing sectors of the Nordics.
