Food and beverage at Stockholmsmässan should not simply be served, it should be experienced, shared and unforgettable. To realise this ambition, Stockholmsmässan conducted a concession procurement process during spring 2026 to find a long-term partner capable of developing a modern, scalable and competitive food and beverage offering and further strengthening their position as one of the Nordic region’s leading venues for meetings, exhibitions and events.
A decision has now been made to enter into an agreement with Levy, the conferencing, sports and entertainment arm of Compass Group. Trusted by some of the globe’s most iconic venues and events, Levy designs and delivers world-class guest experiences which prioritise people and the planet. Levy has been operating in a wide variety of venues across Europe for many years, such as the Uber Arena in Berlin, the Barclays Arena in Hamburg, and Excel London.
“We are very pleased to have completed this process. The procurement has attracted considerable interest and several strong Swedish and international operators. In a highly competitive process, Levy demonstrated the strongest ability to translate our vision into a concrete offering, combined with international experience from some of the world’s leading arenas, convention and exhibition centres. Together, we see great opportunities to develop our offering and further strengthen our attractiveness to both Swedish and international organisers and visitors.”
— Mats Viker, CEO of Stockholmsmässan
For Levy, the partnership also represents an important step in the company’s expansion into the Swedish market.
“We are delighted to announce our new partnership with Stockholmsmässan as part of our continued growth in Europe. It’s a strong venue with huge potential and gives Levy a great foundation in Sweden. We’re looking forward to building and delivering something distinctive together.”
— Jens Koenig, CEO of Levy Continental Europe
The agreement will enter into force on January 1st 2027 and will cover the majority of food and beverage operations within Stockholmsmässan’s venue.
