VIA Water & NWP organized a Drop-the-MIC session: Pitches on African Water Innovations, at the Amsterdam International Water Week on Monday the 30th of October. A “Drop-the-MIC” originally comes from the hip-hop and comedy scene where a rapper/presenter drops the MIC from a stretched arm when his presentation/pitch/rap is over. This concept was brought to the wider public by President Barack Obama who dropped the mic at his last correspondence dinner. Friso Vos de Wael of VIA Water brought this concept to the water sector.
