DigiC Empowers Sustainable Construction in North Holland
Amsterdam, Thursday, 4 December 2025.
DigiC is revolutionizing North Holland’s construction by linking innovators with major stakeholders, promoting digital solutions for sustainable, efficient, and eco-friendly building practices.
Sustainable Building Practices Through Collaboration
DigiC, initiated by ROM InWest, focuses on transforming the construction industry in North Holland by fostering collaboration among innovative entrepreneurs, large construction firms, municipalities, and the provincial government. Launched in 2023, this initiative aims to use digitalization as a key driver for sustainable and circular construction practices. The program has already demonstrated success in regions like Utrecht, where it enabled numerous entrepreneurs to secure projects that would have otherwise been inaccessible [1].
Digital Solutions for Environmental Challenges
In North Holland, the construction sector faces significant challenges due to limited space and resources, coupled with an urgent need to address climate change. DigiC’s approach involves integrating digital tools and methodologies to minimize waste and enhance efficiency in construction projects. This initiative not only helps in reducing the environmental footprint but also ensures that new constructions align with sustainability goals [1].
Innovation and Practical Implementation
DigiC serves as a platform for entrepreneurs working on circular and digital solutions in the construction sector. Startups and scale-ups bring fresh ideas and technologies, which are directly applied in real-world scenarios to achieve tangible results. For instance, companies like Planalogic and Packhunt in Amsterdam have developed digital housing designs that significantly reduce material waste, demonstrating the program’s potential to revolutionize construction practices [1].
Expanding the Network and Impact
The collaborative environment facilitated by DigiC not only fosters innovation but also expands the professional networks of participating entrepreneurs. Through events like the DigiC market innovation days, stakeholders tackle market challenges such as circular renovation within strict CO2 budgets. These interactions not only lead to new business opportunities but also contribute to a robust construction ecosystem that prioritizes sustainability and efficiency [1].
