Jean‑Paul Bolhaar (Stichting Platform BIM Legal), the Kadaster and Jan van Beuningen(Ministry of VRO) present in the Innovation Café an important update on BIM Legal. With the forthcoming legislative amendment, a clear urgency arises: the sector must prepare for a new way of legally recording information. During this session, you will hear what changes, what it means for your role (architect, developer, contractor, notary, software supplier) and what you can do today. Using a few demos, we show how the agreements framework delivers acceleration, transparency and above all legal certainty for clients and chain partners. An indispensable update for everyone working in housing and area development.

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.
