Spring launches catchment monitoring innovation challenge

Spring, the centre of excellence for the UK and Ireland water sector, has chosen catchment monitoring as the focus for its third innovation accelerator challenge, which is now live.

The Spring Accelerator 3 poses the question: How can we enhance and integrate our catchment monitoring capabilities to better protect source water health and the environment?’

All innovators are invited to apply, from individuals to businesses, and from anywhere in the world. The deadline for submission is 9 April, with finalists to be notified by 13 May and invited to a Spring Innovation Exchange later in 2024 to explore solutions with water companies in more detail. Selected innovators will then move on to trial mobilisation with multiple water company partners.

The aim of the Spring Accelerator is to identify implementable innovations that help address a substantial need in the UK and Ireland water sector. The Accelerator challenges are aligned with themes within the 2050 UK Water Innovation Strategy. For more details, visit https://spring-innovation.co.uk/spring-accelerator-3/.
