About

Kamp C is a centre for sustainability and innovation in the construction industry. As an autonomous provincial entity of the Province of Antwerp, our mission is to transform the construction sector into a healthier and more sustainable industry. We serve as a hub for education and inspiration in sustainable construction, advancing knowledge in innovative themes, and acting as the central contact point for all construction-related advice. 

We provide expert advice to governments, educational institutions, construction professionals, and prospective builders or renovators, guiding them toward sustainable solutions for their projects. Our approach includes organizing tours, demonstrations, and facilitating events at our state-of-the-art demonstration site, which showcases cutting-edge innovation. This includes the first fully circular office building in the Benelux, 't Centrum, a vertical solar panel wall, and a 3D printer among many more. 

Our commitment extends to several pioneering projects, such as participatory, social, and circular library projects in local municipalities, the development of bio-based material chain from agriculture to construction, and the support of energy communities. Start-ups and scale-ups can also turn to Kamp C for advice, office rentals, and opportunities to showcase their products.
