Body Fit Training Strengthens International Presence with First Scandinavian Opening
Body Fit Training (BFT), the Xponential Fitness brand and global boutique fitness brand offering 50-minute group strength training classes led by highly accredited coaches, is thrilled to announce the debut of its first Scandinavian location in Oslo this month. Located in the Majorstuen neighborhood, the studio welcomes Scandinavians to experience the inclusive, coach-led strength and functional training classes that BFT is known for around the world.
The Oslo studio marks the beginning of BFT's expansion into Scandinavia, which will be followed by locations in Stockholm and Copenhagen over the next year. The Scandinavian growth is being driven by Tage Flugeim, a seasoned fitness operator who launched his own gym and brought Barry's Bootcamp to the country 15 years ago as the first international market outside of North America. BFT is the first Xponential brand to the Scandinavian market.
'Scandinavians are going to love the community-based, science-backed, and inclusive workouts offered by BFT,' said Flugeim. 'There is so much untapped potential for the fitness scene in Scandinavia, and we're confident that BFT will take the country by storm with this Oslo studio and many more to follow.'
'We are so thrilled for Tage and his team to open their first location and plant the BFT flag in the Scandinavian market,' said Rich Burnet, Co-CEO of BFT International. 'We know the team has worked tirelessly to establish BFT's presence in Norway and we're excited to see them bring our strength and conditioning programming, approach and brand experience to many communities.'
The Oslo debut continues BFT's growth across Europe, following openings in London, Glasgow, and Barcelona in recent years. With over 300 studios worldwide, there is a growing global demand for BFT and its strength and conditioning programming outside its well-established APAC markets, specifically in Europe and the United States. Currently, there are 50 studios in the U.S., with openings in California and New Jersey that were celebrated this month.
'It's remarkable to see how much BFT's workouts are resonating with clients all over the world, and strength training landing atop 2025 fitness trends will continue to add fuel to the fire,' said Bob Kaufman, President of Xponential International. 'With talented master franchisees like Tage, we are excited to see this brand reach new heights in the coming years.'

Veidekke and subsidiary secure $105m Swedish defence facility project
Scandinavian contractor Veidekke and its subsidiary Veitech have received a contract to undertake construction and installation work for one of the Swedish Fortifications Agency's facilities in eastern Sweden. The Skr1bn ($105.2m) contract is to be registered in the company's order book for the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2025). This project will begin production in Q2, with completion due by the first quarter of 2028. Veitech focuses on installation and related technology for buildings and civil engineering structures. The Swedish Fortifications Agency is responsible for the ownership, development, and management of properties that are integral to the national defence system. Veidekke operates in the construction sector while also engaging in road maintenance and the production of asphalt and aggregates. The company has an annual turnover of around Nkr41bn ($4.1bn) and a workforce of 8,000, half of whom are shareholders. Veidekke was awarded another contract last month by Statsbygg for the establishment of the new Institute of Materials Science and Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. Spanning 13,200m² over ten floors, the facility will become a hub for over 200 NTNU employees, SINTEF Industri, external partners, and more than 300 students. Earlier this year, Veidekke secured a contract from the Swedish Transport Administration for the reconstruction of the Muggebo-Tjos section of the E20 road past Mariestad. This project entails rebuilding a 12km stretch of the E20 and adding a new bypass around Mariestad, with an expected completion date in late 2028. "Veidekke and subsidiary secure $105m Swedish defence facility project" was originally created and published by World Construction Network, a GlobalData owned brand.

Modular Edge Pods & AI Integration Reduce Deployment Risks for APAC Edge Centers
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 19, 2025-- The 'Asia-Pacific Edge Data Center Market: Focus on Product, Application, and Country Analysis - Analysis and Forecast, 2025-2034" report has been added to offering. The Asia-Pacific edge data center market, valued at $6.64 billion in 2024, is expected to reach $36.44 billion by 2034, exhibiting a robust CAGR of 17.99% during the forecast period 2025-2034. An increasing trend towards low-latency, distributed computing architectures is propelling the APAC edge data-center market, especially as 5G networks, IoT deployments, and smart-city projects spread throughout the region. Edge sites provide millisecond-level response times for data-intensive use cases like autonomous cars, real-time video analytics, AR/VR apps, and industrial automation by relocating compute and storage capabilities closer to endpoints, relieving strain on centralised clouds and core networks. Edge build-outs are becoming a top focus for governments and service providers, from China's 'New Infrastructure' program and South Korea's 5G+ Strategy to India's National Digital Communications Policy and Singapore's Smart Nation vision. Capex and opex for operators are being defrayed by subsidies for micro-data-center installations, spectrum allocations for private 5G networks, and advantageous tax treatment for local-build facilities. The requirement for geographically dispersed compute nodes is further highlighted by the use cases' explosive expansion, which ranges from predictive maintenance in Japanese industry to precision agriculture in Australia. Deployment risk is progressively declining due to continuous research and development in modular, prefabricated edge pods and sophisticated cooling solutions, even though issues with standardising hardware footprints, maintaining physical security at remote sites, and insuring multi-vendor interoperability still exist. The region's next-generation digital economy will rely heavily on edge data centres as telcos and APAC businesses expand their commercial roll-outs and test programs. APAC Edge Data Center Market Trends, Drivers and Challenges Market Trends Market Drivers Market Challenges Competitive Strategy: Key players in the APAC edge data center market analyzed and profiled in the study include project developers and accounting tool providers.
