LEADING THE CHANGE IN WATER INNOVATION 💧
We are delighted to launch the Water Innovation Hub at UWL25, where we'll bring the industry’s best minds to bear on the water sector's most pressing problems, showcase innovation and facilitate shared problem solving.
The water industry is gearing up to deliver infrastructure on an unprecedented scale, in a bid to clean up the country’s environment, support the transition to net zero and meet the changing demands of customers. Innovation is critical to delivering this transformation on the scale and at the pace required – business as usual simply won’t do.
This dedicated space will bring together water companies and their industry partners to showcase cutting-edge innovations and will also provide opportunities for informal networking. Exciting features include: kicking off the world famous Northumbrian Water Innovation Festival, new roundtable sessions, exclusive innovations display and more.
The hub is a space to lead the change in water innovation.
