Returning to the beautiful grounds of Gosforth Park this summer 7-10 July, innovators from all over the country will descend on Newcastle Racecourse for the ninth year to take on some big challenges facing the water industry today, not just here in the North East but across the UK and beyond.

You know we love a bold theme here at Innovation Festival HQ. And this year is no different as we embrace REGENERATION as our singular mindset to create a better future for all, from the roots up.

Our festival citizens never fail to bring incredible ideas to life during festival week… and this year will be no different. We’ll be channelling all the amazing energy and can-do spirit within our innovation community and focus our regeneration lens to ensure we produce sustainable results for our water networks and the communities we serve.

So, here’s how the week will look . . .

It wouldn’t be an Innovation Festival without our guest speakers, live entertainment, a little fun and games and a sweet treat or two thrown in!

So here it is. Innovation Festival 2025.
