SLATE-ASSET-MANAGEMENT
10.6.2024 09:21:30 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Slate Asset Management (“Slate”), a global alternative investment platform targeting real assets, today announced that it has acquired the World Seafood Center, a state-of-the-art, new build seafood refrigeration and distribution facility, located in one of the most prominent and well-connected logistics hubs, Oslo Airport City, in Gardermoen, Norway, for approximately NOK 1.3 billion. The acquisition further scales Slate’s portfolio of essential real estate assets in Europe and expands Slate’s real estate footprint in the Nordics.
The seafood industry is the second largest and growing export industry in Norway and benefits from strong demographic tailwinds that are driving high demand for seafood industrial space in the region. The World Seafood Center is a 55,000 square meter facility strategically located in the rapidly developing Gardermoen region within Oslo Airport City with immediate access to main transport networks to Europe and the overseas markets in Asia and America. The property is let to some of the largest seafood tenants in the world under long lease terms indexed with CPI, which are expected to provide stable and resilient cash flows. The facility derives 100% of its energy supply from green and renewable sources and is equipped with robotics and artificial intelligence technologies, which further contribute to its high levels of operating and energy efficiency.
“We are pleased to be increasing our exposure to European essential real estate with the acquisition of this premier cold storage and distribution facility,” said Sven Vollenbruch, Managing Director at Slate. “The World Seafood Center has established itself as a critical part of the food supply chain globally, providing consumers across Europe, America, and Asia with access to high-quality Norwegian seafood. As global demand for sustainable seafood continues to grow, we look forward to working together with the leading tenants at the World Seafood Center to further enhance the quality, efficiency, and resiliency of this facility, ensuring it remains a major seafood export hub for years to come.”
One of the property’s largest tenants, Mowi, is the world’s largest seafood company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Mowi controls approximately 20% of global seafood distribution, selling their products in over 70 countries and supplying eight million meals around the world each day. As the world’s largest farmer of Atlantic salmon – one of the most eco-efficient and sustainable forms of animal protein available – Mowi has been ranked the most sustainable protein producer by the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index for five years in a row.
Slate has been an active investor in the European real estate market since 2016 and has transacted on approximately 1,000 commercial properties across 6 countries in the region. Today, Slate has a portfolio of around 500 essential real estate assets. Slate’s European real estate strategy is focused on acquiring, owning, and operating cash yielding, essential real estate assets, such as grocery; pharma or other healthcare services assets; and affiliated warehouses and logistics assets.
The seller of the property is Oslo Airport City (“OAC”), which represents today's most important destination development in Norway, in the form of a multicore, transit-oriented hub, where innovative, economically sustainable, and urban qualities become regional "growth drivers" in this long-term commitment to infrastructure. Currently OAC has over 76,000 square meters of logistics space under construction, with zoning to build up to 1 million square meters.
Pareto Securities, Schjødt, CBRE, KPMG, BER, and agradblue – part of Westbridge – advised Slate and Colliers, Thommessen, and Vedal advised OAC on this transaction, which is expected to close at the end of June 2024.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Low AI fluency, uneven adoption, and marginal productivity gains are limiting enterprise-scale impact According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those

New identity reflects expanded vision to help CIOs “See Clearly. Spend Better.” Brightfin today announced that, following its merger with Proven Optics, the combined company will operate under a single brand: Brightfin. The unified company brings together deep expertise in Technology Expense Management (TEM) and IT Financial Management (ITFM) to help organizations better understand, manage, and reduce total technology spend. Technology spending will exceed $6 Trillion this year, and for most organizations, it remains one of the least understood. CIOs can tell you what they’re spending. Far fewer can tell you whether it’s working. “Over the past several months, we’ve brought these two businesses together around a shared purpose: help enterprise businesses better understand and optimize their technology spend,” said Joel Martins, CEO of Brightfin. “What we are seeing now is a shift. Visibility alone isn’t enough. Teams need to be able to act, tied to real financial outcomes. See Clearly.
