With biomass plants, the government wanted to ensure that the climate targets would be met. The government set aside 10 billion euros for the construction of 628 biomass plants. Objections to the biomass plants soon arose: they would not be as CO2-neutral as was assumed and there would be more useful ways to use the biomass.

In 1905, the popsicle was invented by eleven-year-old Frank Epperson. He made a drink with water and some soda powder that he stirred through with a stick. Because his mother told him to go to sleep, he left the drink. When he woke up the next morning, it had frozen and the drink with the stick in it was frozen too. This was the first popsicle.

Columbus was looking for a faster sailing route to the Dutch East Indies. He planned to sail there via the West. With the financial support of the Spanish Queen Isabella, his ships left for the West, but instead of finding a new route to the Dutch East Indies there, he found the undiscovered continent of America.

The number of people aged 80 and over is growing, but the government is increasingly withdrawing from their caregiving role. The pressure on informal carers is therefore increasing. Using a digital platform, Dinst wanted to offer good service at home at a competitive price. The customers were satisfied with Dinst, but customer loyalty was difficult to achieve. The elderly also felt that they should not have to pay for help.

Two initiators wanted to establish a new streaming service specifically for mobile use on the go. The content consisted of short movies of six to ten minutes. 1.75 billion was raised from investors and big names were brought in for the production of the content. Yet the platform did not catch on with the public and the plug had to be pulled.

In this project, a new innovative pharmacy model, Big Data and Computing, was developed with the use and consideration of robotisation and extensive automation. This new form of pharmaceutical care was perceived as more pleasant by patients due to the personal approach and also showed better results. Despite the positive results for patients, wholesalers did not want to cooperate.
