Cumulus Park district in southeast Amsterdam is an ING initiative in collaboration with the City of Amsterdam, the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) and the ROC of Amsterdam.
A district in which several buildings are connected to create an open atmosphere to drive collaborative innovation. A place that offers space to start-ups, scale-ups, corporates small and large, innovators and students to collaborate and innovate.
In the district Cumulus Park Studio programmes, plans and facilitates collaborative innovation around the themes urbanisation and digital identity; such as events, coordination of innovation programmes and communities. ING is the founding father of Cumulus Park Studio.
The unforeseeable impact Covid-19 has on the economy and by extension also on ING, requires them to reprioritize and reassess the programs they invest in and have initiated in the past. ING has decided to discontinue the Cumulus Park Studio activities.
In practice, external commitments will be stopped and no new investments will be made. Programs contracted for the coming period will continue to be delivered. We will thoroughly assess current obligations with stakeholders.
Although on a lower ambitions level, ING will continue to collaborate with the City of Amsterdam and ‘neighbours’; the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and the ROC of Amsterdam. ING will be part of the ongoing consultation with the district partners to further develop this area and remains committed to attracting, retaining and developing talent as they are key to future success.
We would like to thank everyone who has pioneered with us in exploring new ways to collaborative innovation. Although our current activities will stop, the collaborative spirit stays alive!

Themes for innovation
The world is in flux. As cities become more populated the fields of Urbanization and Digital Identity are crucial areas of innovation.
Ideas that optimize housing and mobility, e-commerce logistics, and that rethink public vs private space are more essential than ever – and will be our focus over the coming years.
Digital technology has a huge impact on our personal life and even our personality: can I remain the same person as my digital-me? Will my digital-me continue to be mine? How can organizations handle an increasingly rapid change in consumer expectations as a result of digital technology and stricter privacy regulations, and still stay relevant?
