Dura Vermeer works in its area development projects preferably in partnership selection. Driven by a shared desire and mutual trust, Dura Vermeer collaborates with partners to create future-proof areas, where flexibility is essential to respond to today’s challenges. This approach aligns with the vision for integrated future-proof area development. It is built up from seven interconnected layers: people, dynamics, shared space, programme, connections, nature and sublayer. By steering together and prioritising these layers, you don’t just achieve spatial quality, but also social, ecological and economic value. For now and for the long term.

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.
