About the iCapital Award
On 8 April 2016, the European Commission awarded the title of European Capital of Innovation ("iCapital") 2016 to Amsterdam for its holistic vision of innovation related to four areas of urban life: governance, economics, social inclusion, and quality of life. Amsterdam was nominated for the prize for embracing a bottom-up approach based on smart growth, startups, livability and digital social innovation.
'Amsterdammers, Maak je Stad!' is initiated by the City of Amsterdam, Pakhuis de Zwijger, Kennisland and Waag, with support from the Amsterdam Economic Board, Amsterdam Smart City and Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions.
