DigiC Drives Sustainable Construction Innovation in North Holland
Amsterdam, Wednesday, 12 November 2025.
DigiC fosters collaboration among entrepreneurs, construction firms, and local governments in North Holland to promote sustainable building through digital technologies, addressing space and material constraints.
Emergence of DigiC in North Holland
DigiC, an initiative originally started by ROM Utrecht in 2023, has expanded its reach to North Holland through the efforts of ROM InWest. This program is tailored to address the pressing construction challenges in the region by employing digital technologies to drive sustainable and circular building practices. The emphasis on digital solutions aims to combat the inherent constraints of limited space and resources [1].
Collaborative Efforts for a Greener Future
DigiC stands out as a collaborative platform bringing together innovative entrepreneurs, major construction companies, and local governments. The program facilitates direct engagement between participants, fostering an environment where cutting-edge ideas are immediately put to the test in real-world scenarios. This approach not only accelerates the adoption of sustainable practices but also reduces material waste and minimizes environmental disruption [1].
Success Stories and Impact
Through DigiC, several companies have already made significant strides in sustainable construction. For instance, Planalogic from Amsterdam has developed digital housing designs that significantly reduce material waste. Similarly, BIM Projects from Alkmaar is utilizing smart Building Information Modeling (BIM) to enhance predictive maintenance efficiency. These initiatives underscore DigiC’s role in transforming the construction landscape in North Holland [1].
Future Prospects and Expansion
The success of DigiC in North Holland highlights the potential for broader implementation across the ROM network. By continuing to offer entrepreneurs access to projects, partners, and funding, DigiC aims to scale these innovations, thus amplifying their impact on sustainable construction practices in the region. The initiative’s long-term goal is to establish a robust ecosystem where small and large enterprises collaborate to create a more sustainable future for the construction industry [1].
