Robotics (November 2009)
Since the release of Asimovs I, Robot, people have been fascinated by smart computers with human characteristics.

Water technology (July 2009)
The Netherlands is sometimes described as the drainage gully of Europe because, once the various rivers finally reach the Netherlands after a long journey through several different countries, the water is no longer the sparkling mountain water that it once was. However, it is because we are in this position that we have learnt how to transform that dirty water into healthy drinking water.

Dutch design (September 2008)
It is fair to say that the Dutch realised the powerful connection between creativity and business a long time ago, probably earlier than most other countries. Business without creativity cannot be innovative and competitive, and creativity without business cannot prosper and become widely accessible for others to enjoy.

Dutch delta technology (September 2008)
Over half of the world population lives in delta and coastal communities. The Netherlands is a prime example of this fact.Water provides a means of life and attracts people. The downside is evident, these areas are flood prone, and too often suffer loss of life and huge economic losses due to catastrophic flood events. Putting emphasis on protecting these areas is extremely important.

Dutch Sanitation Solutions (March 2008)
An estimated 2.6 billion people currently lack proper sanitary facilities. They live largely in rural areas and in the slums of rapidly growing cities such as Mexico City, Dhaka, Calcutta and Nairobi. The UN aims to halve this figure by 2015. A special UN taskforce charged with monitoring progress in meeting this objective has noted that nearly two-thirds of the time allotted for achieving this goal has elapsed since the initiative's start in 1990. At the current rate, the taskforce expects that it will take at least until 2027 to achieve the 50% reduction.
