Festival season has arrived, with Northumbrian Water kicking off its tenth Innovation Festival today.

Reflecting the milestone, this year’s theme is ‘Power of 10’ – celebrating a decade of progress and looking at the decade ahead.

A bigger-than-ever programme of sprints, hacks and daily dashes will be paired with guest speakers, live entertainment, food and fun. The week’s agenda is shown above. 

Northumbrian Water says: “What started life as a celebration of bright ideas with a few like-minded partners, has grown into a mecca for innovation and positive change. A community driven by purpose and intention, powered by passionate people who are united in one belief: that innovation can and will change the world for good.”
