DigiC Revolutionizes Sustainable Construction in North Holland
Haarlem, Wednesday, 5 November 2025.
DigiC connects innovators with construction giants to drive sustainable and circular building practices, leveraging digitalization to address environmental concerns and minimize waste.
Introduction to DigiC’s Mission
DigiC is an ambitious initiative that seeks to integrate digital solutions into the construction industry of North Holland to foster sustainable and circular building practices. Established by ROM InWest, DigiC emphasizes the importance of reducing environmental impact through innovative collaborations with both local entrepreneurs and major construction firms [1].
The Role of Digitalization in Construction
Digitalization is at the heart of DigiC’s strategy. The program partners with startups and scale-ups to introduce cutting-edge technologies that minimize waste and enhance the efficiency of construction projects. For instance, companies like Planalogic and Packhunt, based in Amsterdam, are spearheading efforts to create digital designs that reduce material wastage and optimize area development [1].
Collaborative Efforts and Achievements
Through DigiC, entrepreneurs have been able to test and scale their innovations in real-world scenarios, leading to significant achievements in the region. For example, BIM Projects from Alkmaar has developed smart Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems to predict and efficiently manage maintenance tasks, thereby reducing unnecessary resource consumption [1].
Wider Impact and Future Prospects
DigiC’s impact extends beyond immediate business benefits. It contributes to building a robust construction ecosystem that thrives on sustainable practices, enhancing the region’s overall environmental footprint. The program’s success in North Holland serves as a model for expanding these innovative practices across other regions, emphasizing the transformative power of aligning digital and sustainable construction strategies [1].
