Are you joining us, looking beyond today and across national borders?
At the Zuid-Limburg+ stand, we show how our region is developing into a dynamic, cross-border engine for innovation. In South Limburg, we don’t think in borders, but in opportunities. With a border that is ‘just’ 7 km away from the Netherlands and no fewer than 222 km with our Belgian and German neighbours, our region is at the heart of Europe. We make full use of this unique position: cooperation does not stop at the national border, but actually starts there. One of the most striking examples of this cross-regional way of thinking is the Trans Regio Express (TRE): a cross-border daily urban system within the Euregio Meuse-Rhine. This project shows how infrastructure not only connects people, but also strengthens regions, creates economic opportunities and opens up new perspectives for spatial development and real estate. In South Limburg, we are building the future—together with partners, public authorities and market players.
But we are also looking firmly ahead. That’s why we invite students to think along with us. What will the region of tomorrow look like? What role does mobility play in that development? And how do you translate big ambitions into concrete, achievable plans? We challenge you to look beyond today. To think across borders. And to build together with us a region where it really happens.
You are warmly invited to our stand 11.19, where staff and students from the region will be happy to speak with you. And if you’re lucky, there will be another piece of Heuvelland cake waiting for you!

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.
