The question is not whether this technology will impact the construction sector, but how quickly you learn to work with it.
A.I. is changing at a rapid pace how organisations collaborate, make decisions and organise residential development. Yet many housing associations are still looking for where they can start in a concrete way.
During this session, Marije Vreeze (TKI Bouw en Techniek) and Thijs van Bemmel (DigiC) will share five practical insights to take immediate steps with AI and digitalisation. Using examples from the residential development sector, they will show how AI can contribute to faster decision-making, better collaboration and future-proof housing. This is not just about technology, but also about culture, innovation and the right conditions to responsibly experiment.
The session provides participants with concrete tools, inspiration and insight into how collaboration, knowledge sharing and innovation programmes can help bring new applications into practice more quickly.
