Building the society of tomorrow!
The city of the future demands more than just a supermarket on the corner. It calls for smart connections, green ambitions and an integrated vision for the living environment. To challenge the status quo, Lidl is organising themed roundtable discussions during PROVADA together with Metropool Development.
From complex area development projects to innovative live-work-store concepts: we make an impact by aligning stakeholders. In close collaboration with government bodies and market parties, we create inclusive environments where living, working and shopping come together seamlessly.
These are complex challenges. Because what is the real key to a successful area development? And what is the impact of a high-quality retail facility on the neighbourhood?
We warmly invite you to engage with us on this. Join our roundtables and share your views on connecting functions, designing pleasant living environments and building for the future.

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.
