Many industries feel the change of our time but in the construction industry this is only in the initial phase. Mind you, the construction industry in the Netherlands will grow in 2019 to 61 billion euro’s (source: EIB) and the need for change is undisputable. For public and private parties innovation is no longer a strategic option but a must do. In this session we will discuss how Bouygues, top 10 largest construction firms in the world, challenged startups all over the world with a just finalised Get In The Ring challenge concerning ‘The office of the future’. Next to this private perspective we want to learn from the public perspective. The construction industry is highly dominated by the public clients. What are the pro’s and con’s thereof? The Dutch government wants to stimulate innovation through their own spending (innovation-focused procurement). Rijkswaterstaat, Ministry of Transport and the Environment, will share their experience with their business bootcamps in order to stimulate innovation.
