Innovation and Meeting Future Challenges

13/07/10

Water UK Innovation Hub
London 13 July 2010

What has worked in the past has created a deep well of experience and expertise. We’d be mad not to draw on it now. But, to put it bluntly, it still won’t be enough.

The fact is that tried and trusted methods just won’t be enough. This isn’t to question the industry’s great record in finding new ways of doing things – just the reverse – we wouldn’t be where we are today without innovation.

Last month, Water UK launched ‘Meeting Future Challenges’ –our blueprint for policy change. It’s a two-year project to make policy more relevant – but it starts from the idea that we’ve built a strong foundation for the future...and innovation was a big part of the story.
