With real-time data, you can align housing development ambitions optimally with current market demand. By analysing recent transactions and the existing supply, you gain a clear picture of the feasibility of planned price bands and dwelling types. During the session, we will show how these insights strengthen the municipality’s coordinating role in discussions with developers and housing associations. We will also address regional interdependencies, so that the local brief connects seamlessly with developments in the immediate vicinity. This gives you practical tools to accelerate housing development with a factual, realistic underpinning.

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.
