An open invitation to former President Barack Obama

Dear Mr. Obama,

We learned that you grace Belgium with your presence at the Flanders Technology & Innovation (FTI) Festival today.

Your vision for a sustainable future, one where entrepreneurship is a driving force to improve society, resonates deeply with our mission at Hydroko, a third-generation pioneering company at the forefront of smart water valve technology based right here in Flanders.

At Hydroko, we share your passion for tackling some of the world's most pressing challenges through innovation and technology. Our smart water valves represent a leap forward in water management. They can significantly contribute to the liveability of our planet for communities around the globe in both the short and long term.

Therefore, we would love you to visit our site and see this marvelous wonder of engineering firsthand. You'll be thrilled to see how, even during severe periods of drought, this solution can help water utilities all over the world continue distributing drinking water in a fair and automated way.

We are located just a stone's throw away from the FTI Festival activities, and we understand your schedule is exceptionally tight, but you really (really) want to see this.

We wish you success with your lecture later on today and hope to welcome you soon. If not today, maybe on some other occasion?

Together, we can MakeEveryDropCount. As someone once said, it's the ones who are crazy enough to believe they can change the world that actually do.

Warmest regards,

The Hydroko Team

PS: We heard that you have about 50 selfies on the program later today. So we won't ask you for one but will offer you a real Belgian, refreshing cold beer instead. To make the invitation extra tempting.
