Northumbrian Water’s Innovation Festival is back for 2021.

The fifth iteration of the water company’s Innovation Festival is returning next month (OCT) with celebrity guests, wellness sessions, fun, comedy and most importantly an array of sprints, hacks and dashes aimed at solving the toughest water sector, environmental and societal challenges.

Experts, engineers, academics, brainiacs and anyone with an eye for innovation are being welcomed to the world’s greatest festival of innovation, as it takes place in a hybrid nature for the very first time.

This hybrid get-together will allow for innovators from across the globe to join the festival virtually in a similar way to the 2020 event – which saw participants from 37 different countries hacking and dashing around the clock.

At the same time, some sprints will take place in real-life smaller hubs across the UK – allowing innovators to experience the buzz of the previous physical festival in a COVID-safe environment. This new hybrid format will see a mix of both physical and virtual events including celebrity lightning talks, networking events, live tech demos, music, comedy and much more!

The ‘Brilliant Get-Together’ is taking place between 18 – 21 October and is set to be the perfect blend of traditional festival fun mixed with a digital twist.
