ZorgSaamWonen

What ZorgSaamWonen does

ZorgSaamWonen, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Zwolle, Netherlands, is a knowledge platform and expert community focused on the intersection of housing, care, and welfare for elderly people in the Netherlands. It operates as a digital publishing and events platform under parent company Acquire Publishing, delivering a Kennisbank (knowledge base), digimagasines distributed tri-annually to approximately 25,000 members, expert posts, whitepapers (including joint work with Leiden-Delft-Erasmus universities), weekly newsletters, and an interactive Inspiratiekaart. The organization also runs the annual ZorgSaamWonen Congres, the Academy (masterclasses and workshops), excursions to exemplary housing projects, and the annual ZorgSaamWonen Award, which in 2026 is themed 'Bouwstenen voor zorgzaamheid in gemeenschappen' and focused on Noord-Holland.

The platform's commercial model rests on three membership tiers (organizational, business, personal) structured as recurring subscriptions, supplemented by event and conference revenue (Congres, Academy, excursions). Distribution is digital-first within the Netherlands, with content delivered via the website, email newsletter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and in-person events. The go-to-market is community-led, anchored by an expert bench of university professors, architects, researchers, and senior advisors, and supported by a network of founding and core partners that includes housing corporations (Woonzorg Nederland, deltaWonen, Omthuis), architecture firms (Atelier Pro), builders (Van Wijnen), technology/building-systems providers (Comelit Nederland), municipalities (Gemeente Rotterdam), care organizations (Amstelring, De Waalboog, ZZG zorggroep), and academic/training bodies (AFEdemy, LDE).

The organization operates with a small core team (approximately 5 employees) and serves three primary customer segments: professionals in the housing, care, and welfare sectors (primary); elderly individuals and seniors seeking housing and care information; and local governments and municipalities implementing age-friendly policies. No venture capital funding, public listing, or independent ownership beyond the Acquire Publishing parent structure has been disclosed.
