Amsterdam entrepreneurs and SMEs invited to join Impact Deals and become more sustainable

Featured image

Are you an Amsterdam-based entrepreneur, or do you work for an SME? And do you want to make your company more sustainable? Then draw up a proposal for an Impact Deal before 24 February and receive support from the City of Amsterdam.

What is an Impact Deal?

The City of Amsterdam (Amsterdam Impact) is looking for 10 Amsterdam companies that want to take concrete steps in 2023 towards becoming more sustainable or increasing their social impact.

In an Impact Deal, the entrepreneur and the municipality agree to increase that company's impact by, for example, reducing CO2 emissions by 30 per cent or hiring five job seekers at a distance from the labour market.

The deal must be as concrete as possible, and the entrepreneur should define goals, activities and outcomes. The municipality provides support by offering access to its network and consultations on topics such as financing and access to European funds.

Who is behind the Impact Deals project?

Amsterdam Impact and MKB Amsterdam are the initiators of Impact Deals. The project is part of Local Green Deals, created by the European Commission's Intelligent Cities Challenge.

Want to learn more and submit your Impact Deal proposal?

Visit the Impact Deals page (in Dutch) on the website of the City of Amsterdam.

How Berlin & Amsterdam are Designing the City from the Bottom-Up

Featured image

City governments can have grand ideas and dreams about changing a city and revolutionizing services, but without a clear design and focus on building a base, many ideas and innovations can fall through. Amsterdam Smart City’s Programme Director, Leonie van den Beuken, was invited to speak about how to design a city from the bottom-up at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.

Ralf Kleindiek, Chief Digital Officer and State Secretary for Digital Affairs and Administrative Modernization for the City of Berlin, and Caroline Paulick-Thiel, Executive Director for Politics of Tomorrow and the Co-Founder of nextlearning, joined her in this discussion.

Leonie highlighted that it is crucial to include residents in decision-making processes, but at the same time, we need to address how difficult the process and outcome may be. For example, if we want streets with less cars, residents need to give up their cars and find other alternatives. Key to designing the city from the bottom-up is to ask the right questions in an understandable and tangible way.

Watch the full interview and other interesting talks via the website Tomorrow. City: https://tomorrow.city/a/berlin-and-amsterdam-or-designing-the-city-from-the-bottom-up

FIXbrigade: denk met ons mee

Featured image

Energiearmoede is een sterk groeiend maatschappelijk probleem. Het verminderen van energieverbruik is essentieel. Veel bewoners kunnen zelf geen energiebesparende maatregelen installeren. De FIXbrigade heeft essentiële ervaring opgebouwd met het effectief bereiken van deze kwetsbare doelgroep en met het installeren van meer dan vijftig kleine energiebespaarmaatregelen. De FIXbrigade voert kleine bespaarmaatregelen uit bij bewoners die in energiearmoede leven. Daarnaast is het ook een leerwerktraject voor iedereen die Fixer wil worden.

Op dit moment is de FIXbrigade werkzaam in Amsterdam Nieuw West, Oost en Noord. We willen onderzoeken of het mogelijk is dit naar stadsdeel centrum uit te breiden. Nieuwsgierig en wil je meedenken? Mail dan naar sophie@marineterrein.nl
