Ofwat Innovation Fund

Ofwat, the Water Services Regulation Authority for England and Wales, has established the Ofwat Innovation Fund, a £600 million investment over 10 years to grow the water sector’s capacity to innovate, enabling it to better meet the evolving needs of customers, society and the environment. So far since 2020, 93 innovative solutions have received over £150 million in funding, with many more opportunities available through to 2030.

The Innovation Fund, delivered in partnership with Challenge Works, Arup and Isle Utilities, is designed to complement Ofwat’s existing approach to innovation and to help deliver against Ofwat’s strategy which highlights the role of innovation in meeting many of the challenges the sector faces.
