How do we build a resilient Netherlands together? During this informal drinks reception, public and private parties meet around the major real estate and area development challenges of Defence and the State. Prior to the reception, a session will be held at the Volkshuisvestingsplein on the Command Post Real Estate: a new way of working together to deliver Defence’s real estate requirements faster, smarter and more efficiently. Following this, you are warmly welcome at the stand of Rijksvastgoedbedrijf for an informal drinks reception. A great opportunity to meet, exchange experiences and look ahead to the joint challenges of tomorrow. Meet partners from government and the market and help build the spatial challenges of a resilient Netherlands.

Not a man of one company, but a man of movements. His strength? Not shouting from the sidelines, but starting new companies himself that set the market in motion and challenge existing systems. That's how the jury of the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 describes winner Michel Baars. 'Michel gives direction to our entire construction and real estate sector.'

For three days, the real estate sector stood shoulder to shoulder at RAI Amsterdam. With a record number of visitors, a packed programme and plenty of energy, PROVADA 2026 was an edition to remember. Below, we look back at the highlights — and at the end you'll find the photos and aftermovie to relive it all.

At PROVADA 2026, the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 was presented to Michel Baars. The award is presented annually to an individual who realises sustainable change within the built environment through vision, courage and decisiveness. This year's presentation marks the award's fifth edition.
