Discover the Power of Regional Innovation at Our Stand

At our stand, you will meet a strong representation of our consortium, built on a reinforcing quintuple-helix collaboration in data-driven, parametric area development.

In our pitch, we will showcase the strength of our regional approach to sustainable, climate-resilient, and innovative urban development — a governance-driven story backed by concrete examples from the cities of Apeldoorn and Deventer.

Accelerating Sustainable Urban Transformation

The urgency to accelerate comes from ambitious and large-scale housing challenges in our region.

We harness these challenges as opportunities to create synergies between ambitions and initiatives across the full spectrum:

  • Housing
  • Employment
  • Mobility & Accessibility
  • Circular Economy
  • Energy Systems
  • Health, Well-being & Social Innovation

A Living Lab for Europe

We are opening up our region as a living lab — a testbed for pilots and challenges at both national and European levels.

Our innovation and business ecosystem offers smart, sustainable services, supported by multiple campuses where partners co-create solutions and shape new ways of living and working together.

Experience Climate Adaptation in Action

At our stand, you can explore an immersive demo showcasing three climate adaptation scenarios in a historic city.

Discover:

  • How climate change impacts a riverfront heritage city.
  • How large-scale inner-city transformations affect daily life.
  • How innovative tools support decision-making and resilience.

This is visualized through a physical scale model, enriched with digital storytelling and a dynamic voice-over — one of the many tangible examples from our regional innovation cluster in data-driven, parametric urban development.
