What Ung i Næringseiendom does

Ung i Næringseiendom (UiN) is a Norwegian non-profit professional association (forening, organization number 914 792 258) founded in 2014 and headquartered at Kirkeveien 104 A, Oslo. It operates a free, membership-based network for young professionals under the age of 36 (retainable until 40) working in commercial real estate-related fields, including property investors, developers, brokers, transaction advisors, legal and technical advisors, investment banks, and syndication actors. As of the most recent disclosure, the network counts 3,397 members drawn from 512 distinct companies and is governed by an eight-person board chaired by Ellen Hjort Bech, with co-founders Salman Saaed and Henrik Taubøll still involved.

UiN's core offerings are event- and community-based rather than technology-based: four quarterly networking events (nettverkstreff), the annual UiN-Konferansen conference (300 seats), annual international studieturer (study trips), and a Mentorordningen (mentorship program) run in partnership with Norsk Eiendom. The technology footprint is limited to a WordPress website (ungieiendom.no) using RevSlider for presentations, plus standard social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn; there is no mobile app, no public API, and no proprietary software product.

The revenue model is freemium at the individual member level (no membership fee) and contribution-based at the corporate level. Events and programs are financed through financial and in-kind contributions from a diversified roster of Norwegian commercial real estate industry actors, including CBRE, Malling, BDO, Advokatfirmaet BAHR, Schjødt, Backe, Aker Property Group, PROBEA, Anthon Eiendom, Reitan Eiendom, Carucel Eiendom, and Norsk Eiendom. The organization celebrated its 10-year anniversary in November 2024 and has scheduled partner-hosted events through at least June 2025, indicating active and continuous programming with no evidence of external venture or private equity ownership.
