Event information
Thursday 3rd March 2022
Join the Water Innovation Network (WIN) team for the first hybrid event* as the water industry continues to explore new ways to make a positive difference and drive real change in our region and beyond.
Always Exploring
WIN’s annual conference, Water Connect, provides exclusive insight into the current operating environment at Anglian Water and how suppliers can align with our ambitions in the short, medium and long term.
This will be the first hybrid event helping us to be as inclusive and accessible as possible, with options for guests to attend virtual talks and in-person workshops, helping you to create an experience that’s most relevant to you.
Start-ups, innovators, supply chain and organisations across every sector, this is your call to join us to understand how we can work together to deliver against a specific set of key priorities that will be core to our focus over the coming months and years. We recognise and celebrate the value of transferable solutions and different ways of thinking as we tackle some of the most challenging issues facing our industry, region and society.
Our focus has been established to align with the UK’s sector wide innovation strategy and the specific needs of our region which will be realised through our Shop Window. Many suppliers will be familiar with Anglian Water’s Shop Window and its existence as a physical geography, the aim is to create an incubator of Anglian Water’s business for the future, by removing barriers to innovation, implementing innovative solutions and testing new ways of working across the whole water cycle.
The priorities below are mapped against the sector wide strategy to provide a comprehensive view of our focus areas.
These focus areas include:
- Exceeding customer expectations
- A flourishing environment
- Tackling climate change
- A resilient and intelligent water supply
- Enabling the workforce of the future
- Unlocking efficiency
We are looking for people who have passion and drive to make the world of water better. We know that we can only find solutions by working together. If you are interested in creating and exploring innovative solutions that can support our challenges, sharing emerging innovation or finding collaboration partners - Water Connect is for you.
*Our highest priority is the safety and wellbeing of our presenters and attendees. With that in mind we will continue to closely monitor the ever-changing COVID situation, making sure we're following government guidelines for the in-person part of the event. We'll keep attendees updated in the run up to Water Connect 2022.
