The next five years will see record amounts of investment to ensure the water sector can continue to meet the needs of customers, society and the environment - now and into the future.
Alongside this, Ofwat have confirmed that the Ofwat Innovation Fund will continue and proposed the funding to double to £400 million to help the sector innovate, collaborate and address its most pressing challenges. But for the benefits of this funding to be realised, it's vital that the sector can rapidly adopt solutions which have demonstrated their value, and learn from those that don't.
This 4 day sprint, taking place at Newcastle Racecourse, will explore the barriers to new innovations being adopted at scale in the water sector, and how Ofwat, water companies, and suppliers (new and existing) can work together to overcome them.
