Aim
Water is one of the major global resources that is fundamental to
life. Water security is seen as key to urban processes, energy,
food and ecosystems and we face growing threats from a host of
drivers, including climate change and population growth. The aim of
this conference is to learn from game-changing innovation examples
from the UK Water sector to meet our own needs and those of world
markets. How can we learn from the best ideas and practice
examples? We want to learn about, the 'what?', the 'how?' and how
our institutions can facilitate and accelerate innovation.
Objectives
- Context: To understand the drivers for innovation both in water
security and institutional terms
- To understand from game changing and successful projects what
the ingredients for innovation have been across a very wide range
of water sector thinking
- To understand much more clearly how innovation can be enabled
and accelerated by UK institutions
- To demolish some stereotypes, myths and challenge some
assumptions about innovation in the water sector
- To produce a report on the outcomes of the meeting
