Building on the success of the Aqua North East Summit 2025, the first-ever Aqua North East Expo 2026 will be held from 17–19 September 2026 at the Maniram Dewan Trade Centre in Guwahati. The event is set to become a key platform for accelerating growth, fostering innovation, and encouraging collaboration in the aquaculture sector across Northeast India.
Dedicated Platform for Industry Growth and Collaboration
Positioned as a comprehensive industry marketplace, the expo will bring together aquaculture companies, technology providers, startups, government agencies, and key stakeholders. The event aims to unlock the region’s vast potential by connecting local players with national and global aquaculture ecosystems.
Northeast India Emerging as Aquaculture Hub
With high fish consumption and increasing government focus on fisheries development, Northeast India is rapidly gaining prominence as a major aquaculture hub. Aqua North East Expo 2026 will play a crucial role in bridging market gaps, promoting modern technologies, and enabling sustainable growth within the sector.
Strong Institutional Support and Participation
The initiative is supported by leading organisations such as the National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) and the Bengal Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCC&I). Fisheries departments from across Northeastern states are also expected to actively participate, strengthening regional engagement and policy dialogue.

The expo is being organised by Aqua Doctor Solutions Pvt Ltd under the leadership of Dr. Debtanu Barman, in association with Fishery.News, founded by Induvardhan Reddy Putana. Their combined expertise aims to deliver a high-impact industry event.
Three-Day Event Featuring Exhibitions and Knowledge Exchange
Spanning three days, the expo will feature specialised segments including the Ornamental Aquaculture Pavilion, Startup & Innovation Pavilion, and an Industry Conference & Knowledge Summit. These segments will offer a dynamic mix of exhibitions, expert-led discussions, and networking opportunities for participants.
Continuing the Momentum of Aqua North East Summit 2025
The announcement follows the strong momentum generated by the Aqua North East Summit 2025, which brought together policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, cooperatives, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), and progressive farmers. Aqua North East Expo 2026 aims to build on this success and further strengthen the aquaculture ecosystem in the region.
