40 Dutch Innovations

Finding Netherland, from Used Napkin Chairs to Triplet Skyscrapers

I won't lie to you, The Netherlands is a weird place. I take that back, Amsterdam is a weird place. I don't want to discriminate against an entire nation just because of one freak-show-of-a-weekend I had in a city where you can find a pot brownie, a spicy hot dog and a lady of the night in the same building.

From used napkin chairs to triplet skyscrapers, check out the 40 Dutch innovations.

Implications - Businesses that devote their efforts to celebrating the traditions of a specific culture will experience high levels of success in modern society. Consumers will likely invest in products that enable them to encounter a worldly experience.
