De energy transition brings major challenges. Grid congestion, limited connection capacity and long waiting times with network operators mean that new-build and accommodation projects are increasingly coming under pressure. But what if it turns out that building without (full) grid connection is still possible?
During this interactive talk, Robin Berenschot will take you through the practice of innovative energy solutions in construction and commercial real estate. Based on concrete projects, we show how smart combinations of technology, storage, energy hubs and collaboration with partners ensure that projects can still be delivered despite grid congestion.
From borehole thermal energy storage systems and smart energy hubs to batteries, PV solutions and semi off-grid concepts: discover how sustainability and innovation go hand in hand with future-proof building.
This session is of interest to developers, investors, occupiers, advisors and anyone involved in the future of building and energy.
Afterwards, you are warmly invited to continue the conversation and network further with a drink at our stand.

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.'
Following the earlier announcement of the launch of the International Investment Day, PROVADA now presents the full programme for Thursday, 11 June 2026.

The newly introduced international investment programme—developed in collaboration with INREV, Holland Metropole and the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning—offers international investors direct access to key developments, policy perspectives and investment opportunities in the Dutch market.
