As part of the Water Innovation Hub, UWL have also set up the opportunity for innovators to pitch directly to water company innovation teams.

Apply to pitch your innovation to a room of water companies looking to solve the challenges of AMP8 in the new Meet the Innovator feature at Utility Week Live 2025, 21-22 May NEC, Birmingham.

You can submit innovations under one of the three themes:

• Water Efficiency for Domestic and Non-Domestic Consumers: Innovation is crucial for developing smarter technologies and behaviour-driven solutions that reduce consumption and waste, helping the sector meet rising demand while safeguarding precious environmental resources. By improving efficiency, both households and businesses can contribute to sustainable water use without compromising on service or productivity.
• Wastewater & River Health: Advancing innovative treatment methods and monitoring tools ensures that wastewater is managed more effectively, reducing pollution and protecting river ecosystems. Innovation enables a more integrated approach to water quality, aligning environmental protection with regulatory compliance and public health.
• Asset Management & Network Optimisation – hosted by British Water: Innovation drives the digital transformation of ageing infrastructure, enabling proactive maintenance, real-time data use, and system resilience. Smart asset management and optimisation not only reduce operational costs but also enhance service reliability, which is vital in a changing climate and growing urban landscapes.
