Northumbrian Water will be showcasing some of its newest and most exciting innovation ideas at VentureFest North East on Wednesday this week - and will also be on the lookout for like-minded innovators to support its bold plans for growth.
The utility wants to tap into the talent, creativity and expertise of the region’s SMEs when it takes part in the VentureFest North East conference later this month.
Organised and delivered by the Innovation Super Network, Venturefest is designed to connect businesses, corporates, investors, academics and advisors with specific expertise in innovation. This year’s event will take place at St James’ Park in Newcastle on November 14.
Alastair Tawn, Business Transformation Lead at Northumbrian Water, said:
“The water industry faces many complex challenges and we’re always looking for new technology and ideas to help us deliver an unrivalled service for our customers.
“VentureFest provides a perfect opportunity for us to find people and businesses that we could potentially work with in the future to bring about ambitious improvements to the way we manage water and the environment.
“I’d encourage businesses of all sizes and from all sectors to come along and find out more and if you’re already attending, then make sure you speak to us; we can’t wait to explore the exciting opportunities that the day will bring.”
Now in its sixth year, VentureFest, the region’s innovation conference attracts over 700 delegates each year.
Northumbrian Water will have three stands in the partner exhibition area of the conference showcasing some of its newest and most exciting innovation ideas which came out of its own Innovation Festival 2018.
Speakers from the company will be also be giving keynote speeches throughout the day on subjects including ‘women in innovation’.
James Sumsion, CEO of predictive water intelligence specialists Kohtari, says the water sector needs to take a giant leap forward, so that it can anticipate and act upon water quality issues - rather than merely react.
Ray Moulds, Sales Director at Flood Control International, takes a look at how automated sliding floodgates are supporting secondary containment at water and sewerage company sites.
With the UK government demanding a 50% reduction in storm overflow spills by 2029, the era of reactive management is over. Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025, then environment secretary Steve Reed said, “This Government will cut water companies’ sewage pollution in half by the end of the decade.”
