MaterialDistrict 2027
Meet the people who specify your material.
Present your materials and products to architects, interior designers and other specifiers. At the twentieth edition of MaterialDistrict you discuss concrete applications and make contacts for future projects.
Matter of How. More sustainable building is possible today.
Specifiers, clients and makers who influence material choices
Architects and interior designers are the starting point. You also meet clients, developers, advisers, contractors and makers who help turn a material choice into reality.

More about the audience →From tabletop to stand
Five fixed formats, from a compact presentation for samples to a stand in which you show an application.

More sustainable building is possible today
Many solutions already exist. The question is how they find their place in a project: does the material suit the function, is it available, how is it processed and who works together? At MaterialDistrict you have that conversation with the people who make those choices.
Read about the theme →From exhibition floor to building practice
In 2026 MaterialDistrict launched an initiative with TBI to bring sustainable material innovations closer to building projects. Twenty exhibitors pitched their innovation to a jury.
Three of them, Reduco, Mycelium Material and Isohemp, received a practice voucher of € 10,000 to work with TBI companies on scaling up or a first application.
A voucher is a first step towards application, not a completed project.
Established, new and in research
At MaterialDistrict established producers stand alongside start-ups and young design talent. What is already applied and what is still in development does not follow from the type of participant; we tell you per material.
The twentieth edition, in a new place
MaterialDistrict began with material discovery and grew into a meeting place for professionals who choose and apply materials. The twentieth edition takes the next step: from discovery to application. In 2027 at the Midden Nederland Hallen in Barneveld, in the greenhouse that previously stood at the Floriade in Almere.
