Offshore wind sector is progressing to become the fastest growing cleantech technology globally in recent years. While Europe has been the leading within off-shore wind development, China is expected to lead the way in the future within this domain. By 2020, based on the announced targets, China alone is expected to account for almost 40% of the global offshore wind capacity target of about 70 GW by 2020, more than double that of the United Kingdom.
Chinese offshore sector aims to be the next growth centre of the industry. It has been estimated that China has a total potential of developing about 750 GW of offshore wind, of which 200 GW is in water depths between 5-25 metres. On the other hand, issues such as defining a process for consenting, approval and governance in general combined with an immature supply chain pose risks for potential returns.
With comprehensive dedication, China aims to meet its targets and offer paths to future growth for the domestic players. Also, it has been observed that the Chinese government is sensitised to the bottlenecks that exist in the off- shore wind industry and has proactively displayed a positive intent to correct procedural delays and moderate tariffs.
This report presents detailed overview of the Chinese offshore wind industry and high-level assessment of the maturity level of the different categories in the value chain. For global leaders, this report will contribute to current or upcoming strategic considerations in an emerging global offshore wind industry.

Amazon, Ambivalence and the Future of Industrial Real EstateShah Ahsan
As lockdowns and layoffs bludgeon several asset classes in commercial real estate, namely retail and hotel, industrial real estate remains in a state of flux as buyers and sellers readjust their expectations amidst an increasingly uncertain macroeconomic environment. As the primary beneficiary of the Amazon effect, industrial real estate has not only shed its label as a ‘boring’ asset class but has also made its case as the most compelling asset class for the foreseeable future. This presentation briefly explores the meteoric rise of industrial real estate, the current state of the industrial real estate market, and the future of the industry following this crisis.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. THE U.S. INDUSTRIAL LANDSCAPE IN 7 MINUTES
PRESENTED BY THE CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD INDUSTRIAL PLATFORM
In this uncertain economic climate, everyone is guessing what the future holds for real estate and
its affects on the broader economic picture. While the industrial market is not a crystal ball, it is
typically the first real estate sector to rebound from a recession. As such, we feel that the trends
and conditions of the industrial market can provide valuable insight to the overall direction of the
economy.
What does the current leasing activity look like? Is there any absorption? Is anybody building
anything these days? To answer these questions and many others, C&W is pleased to provide this
brief, yet informative, overview of the current dynamics of the U.S. industrial landscape.
Most recent reading of The Institute of Supply Management’s Manufacturing Index has reported eight
consecutive months of improvement.
Retail sales have reported positive growth resulting in a positive outlook for the industrial market.
Overall vacancy continued to climb for the tenth consecutive quarter to just under 11%.
Construction completions reached their lowest point since Cushman & Wakefield started tracking.
Typically the industrial sector is one of the first real estate sectors to rebound from a recession; positive
trends include: 60% of Cushman & Wakefield industrial markets are showing an increase in year-over-
year leasing activity and 1st quarter national leasing activity increased 10% (to 60.5 million sf) over the
same period last year
Some of the more active markets in 1st quarter of 2010 have been Atlanta, Inland Empire, and the
PA I-81/I-78 industrial corridor.
Rebuilding of inventories will help spur absorption, which currently remains flat. In the immediate future,
corporate earnings will & have been improving and a gradual increase in inventories is expected, though
generally the inventory to sales ratio will be declining in the mid term.
When global trade recovers, East Coast ports will be best positioned for increased TEU activity. In
addition, the widening of The Panama Canal will bode well for both the eastern seaboard port markets,
as well as inland hubs such as Columbus, OH.
Core markets’ general characteristics today: presence of intermodal hubs, stable supply and demand
factors, liquidity, diversification and market depth. Also, superior infrastructure with international
airports and container ports both seaport and inland.
Because of price declines in the real estate markets, industrial assets can be purchased at a discount to
replacement cost today.
Discounted building prices and rents have an adverse effect for non-functional buildings trying to
compete against state of the art facilities.
2. THE U.S. INDUSTRIAL LANDSCAPE IN 7 MINUTES
PRESENTED BY THE CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD INDUSTRIAL PLATFORM
Because of the uncertainty and constantly changing business climate, industrial users are requiring
shorter leases, flexible terms, and occupancies that can be easily increased or decreased in size.
Stable and sufficient credit is not only important for the occupier, it’s equally important for the
owner/landlord.
Rail and intermodal markets will have bright futures when global trade reaches full stride. The
intermodal “break even” point will decrease from about 800 or 900 miles to about 600.
Transportation costs will continue to be a driving force that will offset the lower labor costs of Asian
markets. Distributors’ goal of locating closer to their customers will also drive site selections from Asia
to parts of the U.S.
Being closer to the consumer and minimizing transportation costs will bode well for the smaller regional
distribution markets especially as oil prices increase.
The southeast region of the U.S. is seeing increased manufacturing jobs due to fuel price uncertainty, a
general pull back from China, and possibly Mexico’s lack of stability. Near sourcing will continue to be
the trend in the decision making process for plant locations.
The rise of rail to distribute product to and thru inland ports will be evident over the coming years.
A key to economic recovery will be the equity markets to spur growth in the industrial sector.
Portfolio optimization remains high on companies’ list of priorities, causing a high level of demand.
Energy optimization, as part of cost cutting and sustainability initiatives, is a current activity of the
occupier today.
Developers/owners continue to find it difficult to finance large tenant improvement projects.
A key difference now compared to prior recessions is globalization and how the global economy is
interconnected.
The improved linkage between Hampton Roads, VA (one of the best deep water ports on the East Coast)
and Columbus, OH (a well positioned inland hub) is a major capacity improvement projects in terms of
moving freight in the U.S.
The ports in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, and Norfolk are all dredging
and building additional crane capacity to coincide with the widening of the Panama Canal. Many Eastern
ports today do not have the channel depth to handle the imminent 12,000 TEU vessels.
