The real estate sector is changing rapidly and requires more than just specialist knowledge. Increasingly, it’s about the ability to provide direction in situations that aren’t simply black and white. In this podcast, the Amsterdam School of Real Estate shares its vision on leadership in real estate: what it means today, why it is essential right now, and how professionals can develop in this area. Through the Master of Real Estate, we show how leadership development is given concrete form within the programme and how this helps professionals operate more effectively in practice. As an addition, we bring in a practitioner perspective via an MRE alumnus, who can reflect on applying these skills in the field.

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.
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:
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.
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?
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.'
