ArktiskMat

ArktiskMat (Arctic Food) is an annual food symposium in the picturesque town of Mosjøen, Norway. For one weekend in September we meet for talks, workshops, demos, lunches and dinners in and around the historical street of Sjøgata. The concept also include roadshows throughout Norway, Europe, and beyond. Read more about our roadshows HERE.

ArktiskMat has since 2012 brought people together to share knowledge about food and culture. The symposium is an inspiring meeting place for young and established chefs and food people, who would like a greater insight in what moves around in the arctic region.

For future generations we want to achieve awareness around our recources and a sustainable approach to promote the craft of food production and arctic food culture.

Save the date for ArktiskMat 2024 - September 13th -14th!

Over the last decade ArktiskMat has inspired and connected foodies across the world, which has resulted in a large international network and many exciting collaborations. The largest collaboration in the period 2022-2024 is the project Feeding Europe with Capital of Culture Bodø2024. In 2022-2024 ArktiskMat will lead Bodø2024's food culture program and contribute to develop and highlight the Arctic Cuisine of the future. The Symposium will be part of the programme, in addition we’ll conduct a research/developing project on food producers & networking in Nordland and execute several food events and ArktiskMat Roadshows. Feeding Europe is sponsered by Samfunnsløftet.
