He chooses a subject, draws a picture, and we take it from there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past two weeks, we have taken a closer look at the heart of Dutch innovation. What is typical about it? Is it different from, let\u2019s say, German, Chinese, or American innovation? Can we coin it as a concept, like Dutch Design? And is that an opportunity to position the Netherlands more strongly on the world stage as a leading innovation country? In a three-part series in preparation for the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/did.nl\" target=\"_blank\">Dutch Innovation Days<\/a>, May 11, 12, and 13 in Enschede, we have explored the opportunities and limitations of Dutch innovation. We discovered that it is about a combination of a down-to-earth mentality, resilience, an anti-hierarchical attitude, collaborativeness, speed, openness, and being always impact-oriented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the coming days, we will add the views of two specialists who are also invited to do a keynote at the Dutch Innovation Days, this Thursday and Friday. So stay tuned, just like our cartoonist Albert Jan Rasker is always tuning in on the latest innovations &#8211; with or without Frans Timmermans, who is one of the speakers in this week&#8217;s event in Enschede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, we\u2019re also curious about <em>your<\/em> thoughts on Dutch innovation.
