A series of activities jointly set up by the entrepreneurs highlights the positive development and strengthens the local community. On 24 September 2022, as part of transparency, their doors will open to the general public to introduce Amsterdam to this special and unknown business area. A large bronze artwork in the public space will also be unveiled and a symposium on the future of De Heining will take place in the presence of alderman for economic affairs Sofyan Mbarki, district administrator Sander Doevendans and a big party.
To give the area a new identity, a new style and website developed in cooperation with parties in the area will also be launched on this day. The strategy behind this new positioning is to ensure that De Heining can shape its own story. Stories and news items from years ago will then slowly fade into the background and make way for a new élan of this rugged and creative piece of Amsterdam.
