Overijssel wants to accelerate housing construction — and has everything it needs to do so: strong delivery capability, a close collaboration between the market, housing associations and government, and large-scale housing locations recognised by the national government. With our three regions, we set out ambitious plans: more homes, more jobs, and area development that works across all domains.
But the big question remains: are we doing enough, and what is needed to truly move things forward?
Daan Zandbelt kicks off with a sharp keynote on the opportunities and bottlenecks of this scale jump. After that, we’ll go into dialogue with the audience: how do we maintain momentum, quality and collaboration — and what next steps will we take together in Overijssel?
A session full of energy, realism and direction, with one goal: to move forward together.
PROVADA winner Michel Baars: 'MOOS will become the ASML of housing construction'
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.'
