WORKTECH Rotterdam is a leading conference exploring how the intersection of people, place, and technology is shaping the future of work and the workplace. It is part of the leading global WORKTECH events series.

Bringing together senior leaders, strategists, designers, technologists, and workplace professionals from across industries, WORKTECH Rotterdam examines how organisations are rethinking work, space, culture, and digital infrastructure in response to rapid change.

The programme is designed for senior professionals responsible for workplace strategy, corporate real estate, facilities, HR, technology, architecture, and design.

Through a mix of keynote presentations, expert panels, and case studies, WORKTECH Rotterdam provides a multi-disciplinary, insight-led forum to explore emerging trends — from workplace intelligence and employee experience to hybrid work, digital transformation, and the evolving role of the office.

The event connects a global community of professionals to share ideas, benchmark approaches, and gain practical insight into how organisations are shaping the workplace of the future.

“WORKTECH isn’t just about sessions—it’s about cross-disciplinary learning, fresh ideas, and real conversations that move thinking forward in people, place, and technology. I left feeling inspired, full of ideas, and excited about the workplace of tomorrow… today!”

Key Themes

Rotterdam’s Rise as Europe’s Workplace Innovation Capital

Rotterdam is the Netherlands’ contemporary architecture capital and one of Europe’s most experimental cities for commercial real estate and workplace innovation. With world renowned firms like OMA, MVRDV and KCAP shaping its skyline, Rem Koolhaas’ hometown has become a magnet for investment, mixed use regeneration and next-generation workplaces. Strong office rental growth, low vacancy in energy efficient buildings and some of Europe’s most attractive prime office yields make Rotterdam a living laboratory where architecture, urbanism and workplace strategy intersect in uniquely dynamic ways.

How the Dutch Triple Helix Model Shapes the Future of Work

The Netherlands has one of Europe’s tightest labour markets, especially in engineering, tech and healthcare. To compete for scarce talent, Dutch organisations design workplaces and employee experiences with exceptional intentionality. The country’s triple helix model – deep collaboration between government, academia and business – has created highly integrated innovation hubs around technical universities such as those around TU Delft, Brainport Eindhoven and Leiden Bio Science Park, that blend research, education, startups, industry, maker spaces and hybrid workplaces. The hubs are magnets for workplace innovation, new headquarters, R&D centres and international investment.

Designing Workplaces for Wellbeing, Collaboration and AI-Enabled Teams

Dutch work culture has stabilised around a mature hybrid model where presence is driven by purpose rather than policy. This shift is reshaping workplace design; fewer desks, more project rooms, maker spaces and social zones. With burnout rising, organisations are prioritising human sustainability through movement, daylight, acoustics and biophilia. At the same time, AI is transforming both work and the workplace, from smart building systems to new ways of supporting hybrid teams. Dutch research leaders such as TNO and TU Delft are advancing human–AI collaboration as CRE, FM, HR and IT converge into unified workplace teams.

Worktech’s unique & engaging format supports decision makers that have a genuine interest in making the workspace a better place.
