To realize this ambition, Stockholmsm\u00e4ssan 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 \u2014 and further strengthening our position as one of the Nordic region\u2019s leading venues for meetings, exhibitions and events. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s 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.  <\/p>\n<p>\u2013 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\u2019s 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 organizers and visitors, says Mats Viker, CEO of Stockholmsm\u00e4ssan.   <\/p>\n<p>For Levy, the partnership also represents an important step in the company\u2019s expansion into the Swedish market.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We are delighted to announce our new partnership with Stockholmsm\u00e4ssan as part of our continued growth in Europe. It\u2019s a strong venue with huge potential and gives Levy a great foundation in Sweden. We\u2019re looking forward to building and delivering something distinctive together, says Jens Koenig, CEO of Levy Continental Europe.  <\/p>\n<p>\u2013 This partnership further strengthens our presence in Sweden and highlights Levy\u2019s expanding international footprint.
