As part of an effort of Almere to attract young start-up businesses, the Alnovum was designed to house a mixture of large and small companies, mostly in the ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) sector. Needless to say that this high-tech building offers the type of infrastructure that this type of businesses need. However, technology did not stop there: in line with the environmental guidelines of the city, the building has state of the art architectural technology.

Interact managed the construction of this building as well as its leasing and operation. The project was successfully completed in 2001, well within the planned timeframe and on budget, and with 90% occupancy at the point of opening.
