Stockholm International Fairs (Swedish: Stockholmsmässan) is a large exhibition facility that arranges trade fairs in Stockholm, Sweden.
[1] The idea of starting a trade fair in Stockholm started with brothers Börje and Folke Claeson in 1942.
[citation needed] Initially, the Royal Tennis Hall (Kungliga tennishallen) was rented for this purpose.
The main building was constructed in 1971 in the Älvsjö suburb of Stockholm Municipality.
[citation needed] The facility has hosted international congresses, seminars, general assemblies and musical events.
