Summa Equity

This week, we had the pleasure of bringing together curious and forward-thinking minds from society and business in Oslo, for an evening of connection and insight at Summa.   We were delighted to welcome Ine Marie Eriksen Søreide, Chair of the Norwegian Parliament’s Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defense, who shared her sharp perspectives on global macroeconomic trends – and what they mean for businesses navigating uncertainty.   Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of meaningful conversations and new connections. We’re already looking forward to the next time we meet!   Hannah Jacobsen, Mette Viddal Øi, Caroline Dehlimarken, Tuva Einang Prestegard, Tuva Greaker, Hannah Elisabeth Berget, Sanna Rolen, Evelyn Nyaas, Silje Lambrechts, Annette Roth Humlevik, Camilla Høie Kaasen, Helene Varming

60% more food is needed by 2050, and protein demand may increase by as much as 100% due to dietary trends. At Summa, we believe Aquaculture is one of the key building blocks in a sustainable food system. That’s why Summa has invested in STIM, the largest quality supplier of fish health products. In the last three decades STIM has contributed to a more sustainable aquaculture industry by providing transformative innovations that improve fish health, growth and profitability.
