The Vene Båt, also known as the "Helsinki International Boat Show", is the leading boat fair in Finland and one of the most important events of its kind in Northern Europe. The name "Vene Båt" originates from Finnish and Swedish, meaning "Boat." Organized by the Finnish Fair Corporation, the fair is held annually in February. Since its inception in 1970, Vene Båt has evolved into a key meeting point for water sports enthusiasts and boat lovers. It provides a platform for national and international exhibitors to showcase their latest products and services to a wide audience.
