Mr. Radboud Molijn had a 15 minute interview on the Dutch radio, subject “Will the Tokyo Olympics 2021 take place?” The direct reason for this talk was the resigning of Mr. Mori as President of the Tokyo Olympics. "If I were to make an estimated guess my answer should be “no”, Radboud told the audience. With 80% of the Japanese population and 70% of the companies not in favour, he told he would be surprised if the games would take place, with or without spectators in the stadiums. "And … as it will be difficult to vaccinate a large part of the Japanese people before the start of the Olympics on July 23, why take the risk?"
Meanwhile the Dutch certainly do not qualify for a gold medal when it comes to vaccination speed: in the list of vaccinations per capita in Europe (34 countries), the Netherlands is # 31.

<Innovation & Japan, a contradiction in terms>
What is a good way to measure the innovation power of a country? The number of patents filed by its companies? The R&D budgets in a country? The “reputation” of a country as an innovation hub? Let me focus here on one particular aspect as indicator of innovation: the number of “Unicorns”, privately held companies with a value of over USD 1 B.There are some other common denominators as well: most of these so-called Unicorns are disruptive,they are high on technology and the majority of them are B2C.
