The Innovation Festival encouraged the water industry together with Sydney Water\u2019s partners to step outside of comfort zones and approach key challenges and generate new ideas in a creative and innovative way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Northumbrian Water Group (NWG) in the UK has hosted successful Innovation Festivals since 2017. Facilitated by Isle Utilities, NWG approached Sydney Water to partner with them and host a twin festival for 2021 and 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The motivation for the Innovation Festival was to encourage a culture of innovation to create a better life with world class water services. Sydney Water wanted to empower people and partners to move beyond their \u2018day jobs\u2019 and take the opportunity to work with different people in different ways.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4>Six key themes for collaboration between partners, stakeholders and the community.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Innovation Festival explored six key themes, namely customer experience, smart cities, water security, liveability, diversity and inclusion and the circular economy. This was achieved through a combination of Design and Data Sprints, Tech Tanks. The Festival was publicly accessible with the main events. These included;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keynote speeches\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panel sessions with board members, CEOs and Indigenous representatives<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018The Splashes\u2019 Debate \u2013 who is better at innovation, Australia or the UK?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tech Tank pitches with prizes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fun entertainment breaks between sessions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary goal of the Innovation Festival was to encourage collaboration between partners, stakeholders and the community, in Sydney, Australia and internationally. By partnering with NWG and Isle Utilities, this was ultimately achieved as the festival attracted a global audience from 25 different countries. Many of the TechTank pitches were delivered from overseas, with start-up companies dialing in from the early hours of the morning.
