Inspiration Award 2026 - Cast Your Vote!
The nominees for the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 have been announced! Three inspiring professionals who are truly making a difference in the industry are competing for the title. Meet the nominees:
Smart, fast and sustainable to PROVADA from WFC Amsterdam
During PROVADA, MRP together with PROVADA, RAI Amsterdam, The Sharing Group - MyWheels and Drop - will provide a smart and sustainable mobility service from WFC Amsterdam (World Fashion Centre). With this joint initiative, the partners are encouraging sustainable mobility while offering visitors a comfortable alternative to the parking congestion around the RAI. A collaboration to raise a toast together.
Visitors can easily reserve a parking space in advance at WFC Amsterdam and then travel free of charge to PROVADA with the RAI Shuttle Bus, a chauffeur-driven car-share service from MyWheels, or a DROP e-bike from The Sharing Group. This makes sustainable travel not only easier, but also faster and more comfortable.
The collaboration aligns seamlessly with MRP's ambitious area development plans: the transformation of WFC Amsterdam into an open, multifunctional hotspot where living, working, leisure and meeting come together — with sustainable mobility as a natural part of the future.
Opening PROVADA 2026: Connecting Defence and Real Estate
On Tuesday 9 June at 10:00 AM, PROVADA will be officially opened by Lieutenant General Dick van Ingen, Deputy Director-General of Policy at the Ministry of Defence. Through his contribution, PROVADA underlines the current and growing intersections between Defence and the real estate sector.
At the Innovation Café, applicable innovations in area development take centre stage
During PROVADA, BouwLab R&Do and The Green Village will be providing the content programming for the Innovation Café. In collaboration with partners BPD, COD and VORM, and the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, and the DMI Ecosystem, one central question takes the lead: how do we move innovation faster from idea to application?
Foreign capital needed to meet housing construction targets
The fiscal threshold for foreign pension funds and insurers to invest in the Dutch housing market must be significantly lowered. That is the view of Mark Siezen, CEO of asset manager Bouwinvest. 'Foreign capital is absolutely essential to meet the enormous housing construction challenge. That requires a stable housing policy and fiscal climate. I am hopeful: the new minister recognises this and will act on it.'
International Investment Day at PROVADA: programme announced
Following the earlier announcement of the launch of the International Investment Day, PROVADA now presents the full programme for Thursday, 11 June 2026. As the largest real estate exhibition in the Netherlands, PROVADA brings together leading market parties for a day of insights, discussion and networking. The newly introduced international investment programme—developed in collaboration with INREV, Holland Metropole and the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning—offers international investors direct access to key developments, policy perspectives and investment opportunities in the Dutch market.
Parking during PROVADA
Visiting PROVADA? Please be aware that it can get busy around the RAI. Due to multiple large events taking place at the same time, the RAI parking facilities often fill up early.
