DUTCH, what come to your mind when you hear this country? A country with its windmills maybe? Or one of the smallest advanced country in the world? Most people are not aware that Dutch is an innovative country; the country where brilliant ideas are born. A small country does not always mean small in creating an innovative way to develop the country, instead it should be a motivation to work hard to be one of the best countries, and Dutch actualize it.
As an innovative country, Dutch is able to maintain their country as a country which is able to inspire other countries. Dutch could maintain a good relationship among government, university, and industry. They cooperate to organize and control the system in their country so that it could balance the development among all aspects. For instance, an industrial company labors in a cooperative manner with a certain university to create new ideas and technology to help the company in its production. This affects on how Dutch could manage their own country that is later called self-service country. This means that Dutch people are not dependent and are able to become self-reliance.
Dutch people innovate any aspect of their country, such as education, industry, even they innovate the way they build a land under the sea level. For the first example in industry, Dutch invent a plane without sound and carbonic acid. There used to be the same kind of this plane yet the previous one was not as fast as it is now, it moved 100-150 km/hour. Dutch people desire to manufacture this plane which moves 460 km/hour and is as fast as nowadays plane. Another example is that Dutch people try to overcome the traffic jam which nowadays becomes a main serious problem in every country in the world. Dutch is trying to invent a car which can fly named PAL-V (Personal Air and Land Vehicle). It is a vehicle equipped with 3 wheels and 2 propellers which can be folded. It can fly around 500 feet from the surface. When it is used in land, it can speed up to 180 km/hour. Though it has ever been invented with the same model by America in 2009, Dutch is still trying to innovate and make it better than the previous car. This sort of vehicle is suitable for public service such as ambulance and police officer so that they can go through a long distance only in a short time.
Creating a facility for a better life is not restricted only in industry. Dutch people do not run out of idea. Philips ‘floating’ street lighting was invented to save energy for efficiency. It is said to be lower in cost than the conventional lighting system. This street lighting is hanged at a height of four and a half meters. The design of this lighting is unique and that it won the 2011 Dutch Design Award.
All innovations in Dutch are created by themselves, for themselves, and to themselves. Who else will aware of their welfare if it is not them? They grow as a self-dependent country and that they could create wealth for their country. The character of Dutch people should inspire people in other countries in the world so that most countries could enjoy their successful hard work.
