Amsterdam Zuidoost is in full motion. Here, a complete city is growing. These developments and transformations give the district colour, strength and a future. During the South East Jazz drinks reception, Zuidoost brings that energy to PROVADA. Thijs Box speaks with Ellen Nieuweboer, public-sector client, about the developments in the area. The live music of South East Jazz gives the drinks reception the sound of Zuidoost: welcoming, energetic and colourful!
Who will be speaking at the drinks reception:

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.
