The Netherlands has always punched above its weight —
first with ships, now with semiconductors.
In the 17th century, it was already a global trading power.
But its true industrial takeoff came in the 19th century,
fueled by canals, coal, and colonial commerce.
Rotterdam’s port grew into one of the world’s busiest.
Shipbuilding, chemicals, and machinery
drove economic expansion across Dutch cities.
The Dutch invested in infrastructure early:
railways, public housing, and water management.
And though small in size, the country leveraged its connectivity.
After WWII, the Netherlands rebuilt rapidly.
By the late 20th century, it was leading in high-tech manufacturing,
especially in electronics and precision engineering.
I opened 온라인카지노 while reading about ASML,
the Dutch company that now dominates the global semiconductor machinery industry.
From Philips to green energy tech,
Dutch industry blended pragmatism with precision.
Through 우리카지노, I posted a photo of a wind turbine beside a data center,
captioned: “From sails to servers.”
The Netherlands proves that innovation isn’t about scale —
it’s about strategy, speed, and smart reinvention.
