In the run-up to the Olympic Games, Dutch innovations in the field of the Nexus Food-Water-Energy, High-Tech, and Vitality will have the opportunity to present themselves online to the Japanese business community in the special Rangaku* edition of the TeamNL Tokyo Expo. As part of this Expo, Foodvalley NL, partner GO4EXPORT, is proud to organize an online meeting on 24 June 2021: "Personalized Nutrition as a Driver of Sport Success".
During the 2.5 hour program the relevance and opportunities of personalized nutrition will be highlighted, with sports & nutrition as inspiring example. The online event is designed to provide inspiration, initiate connections and to facilitate international collaboration between Dutch and Japanese businesses on the topic of Personalized Nutrition with a focus on Sports and Nutrition.
Japan and the Netherlands have shared values and interests for many years when it comes to the areas of food quality, health and safety. Also when we look to the challenges ahead, we have a lot in common: ageing populations and the need for healthy nutrition. We can learn a lot from each other. That is why we encourage companies based in Japan and the Netherlands to exchange knowledge. The exchange of practical ideas can help to solve our critical problems.

* Under the title "Rangaku", an age-old partnership between The Netherlands and Japan is being revived. A partnership (1641-1853) in which The Netherlands was solely responsible for the import of all Western knowledge into Japan. An added value that was also known in Japan as "Rangaku", or "Dutch Learning".
** This event is part of the Olympic-level business platform facilitated by TeamNL, Papendal, NOC NSF and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
