Former ASML CEO Peter Wennink presented a report on Friday with advice and practical ideas on how the Netherlands can become more independent and relevant. We wonder: is this a report for eternity, or will it, as is often the case, disappear silently into a drawer after all the fuss?
Maarten suspects that this report will last a while. And that is due to more than just the content. In this episode we discuss what it contains, what criticism it received (and whether it is justified) and we explore a number of historical parallels. When are reports successful and influential? And: can the government provide direction, or should you leave the necessary change to market forces?
