Almost a quarter of all our homes are part of a VvE. And many VvEs face a major challenge: combining maintenance, renovation and sustainability improvements in a smart way, keeping it affordable and making decisions together in good time. The construction and installation sector plays a key role here. Contractors, advisors and other chain partners in particular help to make plans practical and scalable.
During this interactive session, the Ministry of VRO and the VvE knowledge centre from Milieu Centraal will show where we currently stand with the acceleration agenda for sustainability and maintenance for VvEs and what this concretely means for the parties involved. We will share which support and practical tools from the VvE knowledge centre are already available to get projects effectively off the ground, such as the VvE helpdesk.
In addition, we would like to discuss real-world practice: where do contractors and other professionals encounter difficulties in VvE projects? What knowledge, tools and support are needed to speed up sustainability improvements and maintenance?
Think along and share your experiences, so that we can build together a future-proof approach for VvEs.

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.
