▪ Before the 2nd world war, the average lifespan of a company was 75 years
▪ In 2011 the average lifespan of an Standard & Poor’s 500 company ( an index for the
biggest companies in the US) was 15 years
▪ There is an expectation that in 2025 the average lifespan of a huge company will be 5
years
▪ There’s a chance that when we grow up, we practice a job that now doesn’t exist yet.
Iconic companies (like Kodak) are all gone

▪ Europese bevolking stijgt met 1,5 miljoen door migratie (niet door de eigen populatie)
▪ How many children do you need to keep your population stable? = 2,1 children
▪ So if you want to grow your population, you need more than 2,1 children, but do we have
that in Belgium? No! So we need migration, and our population is getting older
“If you really want to earn big money, buy a plot of land somewhere far away from the city
and just wait for the city to come. “ suddenly you’ll have valuable ground
▪ For example: Phillips (a multinational which is multi-centred and which uses different
geographies to develop different businesses)
▪ We look at Phillips like a tv-producing company or a radio-producing company, but in the
video we see that they also grow plants (GrowWise Center)
- They try to understand cityfarming indoor
▪ With their knowledge of lightning, they work together with plant specialists, who knows a
lot about the interaction of lightning and growing crops
- Lightning is a very important aspect! When u change the lightning, you change the
whole mechanism in the plant itself
- To play with those kinds of mechanisms in the plant, you can create our optimal
plant, but also steer the plant in the way you want
- Another advantage of indoor growing is that you don’t need crop protection (for
insects, diseases,…)
▪ Would you ever think about Phillips as the next big agriculture company?
Phillips has connected the dots
▪ Core competence of Phillips = light
▪ They connected the dots: growing population in cities growing plants inside with light-
technologies
▪ They spare a lot of space by planting the crops vertical
▪ Is this a form of internationalization? Yes and no it is internationalization in a city that
doesn’t exist.
