Pieter de Koning started his career literally in the mud of civil infrastructure and worked his way up to become a civil project manager at the Municipality of Vlaardingen in the Netherlands. In his daily work, he uses artificial intelligence to deliver projects faster, smarter, and with better informed decisions.

Pieter works closely with municipalities, contractors, and knowledge institutions, helping the built environment sector prepare for a digital future. By combining practical experience in infrastructure with a strong focus on innovation, he connects engineering practice with the practical use of new technology.

Through training sessions and keynote presentations, Pieter translates the latest AI developments into practical tools for the workplace. His approach is grounded in real projects, clear examples, and immediate practical value.

Practical AI, real projects, forward thinking.
