UTILITY WEEK LIVE AND NORTHUMBRIAN WATER INNOVATION FESTIVAL - MINI SPRINTS

Join us and Northumbrian Water for a mini design sprint at the buzzing Water Innovation Hub!

Have you ever wondered what Northumbrian Water's Innovation Festival is all about? Here is your chance to get a taste of the fast-paced design sprint approach used at the festival to generate game-changing ideas and innovation that solve real world challenges. 

We invite you to shape a sustainable future for our nation. The outputs will be the seed of an idea that will be developed into a solution at Northumbrian Water's Innovation Festival in July. 

Whether you're from water, energy, infrastructure, or beyond, your insights will help us identify key priorities, shared challenges, and opportunities for collaboration.

Northumbrian Water Innovation Festival

Across utilities, local authorities, and developers, we all have a burning list of environmental requirements that are critical for shaping a sustainable future, whether it's flood risk mitigation, nutrient neutrality or carbon reduction. However, these needs are often fragmented or siloed within individual organisations, without wider visibility, making it difficult for us all to plan effectively, align efforts and resources that could drive meaningful and efficient progress.

The Challenge: 

How might we better understand and align the environmental needs of utilities, local authorities, and developers to overcome planning barriers and drive investment to create thriving catchments and accelerated environmental improvements?

In this fast-paced session, we’ll explore what our most pressing environmental needs are, address barriers to delivery, and generate ideas to overcome the most critical areas.

The outcome? An understanding of what is required to make our nation's future sustainable and the opportunity to work through a solution at a second event at Northumbrian Water's Innovation Festival (11 July).

"UK water companies know they need to innovate to accelerate – but they are large organisations with often cumbersome processes, and cannot always move as fast as they or others would like. Utility Week Live is stepping up to play its part, bringing together water company innovation teams with innovators on our new Water Innovation Hub, where we’ll be hosting a series of ‘meet the innovator sessions’, giving innovators a chance to get their voice heard and their solutions recognised.
