DigiC Initiative Drives Sustainable Construction in North Holland
Amsterdam, Tuesday, 14 October 2025.
DigiC unites entrepreneurs and government to digitally innovate construction, focusing on sustainability and efficiency to meet North Holland’s building demands while conserving resources.
DigiC: A Collaborative Effort for Green Innovation
The DigiC initiative, which began in 2023 under the Regional Development Agency (ROM) Utrecht, has expanded its reach to North Holland thanks to ROM InWest. The program aims to bring together innovative entrepreneurs, large construction firms, municipalities, and the provincial government to accelerate sustainable and circular building practices through digital technologies. This collaborative effort is intended to address the significant construction demands in North Holland, where space and resources are limited [1].
Key Players and Their Contributions
One of the standout contributors to the DigiC initiative is Packhunt, a company based in Amsterdam. Known for its focus on computational design and digital construction innovation, Packhunt plays a crucial role in automating knowledge and production processes within the building industry. The firm is a pioneer in reshaping the construction sector to enhance efficiency and sustainability [2]. Other key players include Planalogic and BIM Projects, both of which are involved in developing digital solutions to minimize waste and improve construction processes [1].
Transformative Impact on the Construction Sector
DigiC’s approach offers a platform for entrepreneurs to test and implement their innovations in real-world scenarios. This includes developing digital housing designs that reduce waste and smart BIM models that make maintenance more predictable and efficient. By providing a direct pathway for innovation to be applied on a large scale, DigiC not only enhances the visibility and impact of these technologies but also strengthens the overall construction ecosystem in North Holland [1].
Future Prospects and Regional Benefits
With the support of ROM InWest, DigiC aims to guide companies in their growth and secure further financing for their projects. The long-term goal is for entrepreneurs to execute their innovations at scale, significantly impacting the regional construction sector by promoting sustainability and digital transformation. This initiative is poised to deliver substantial environmental benefits, including reduced resource consumption and lower emissions, aligning with North Holland’s broader goals for sustainable development [1].
