The 14-week innovation programme provides successful applicants with the opportunity to test their solutions in a live environment, while gaining access to and building relationships with senior United Utilities executives, with the potential to lead to longer-term commercial partnerships.
In past years we've taken ideas pitched by innovation companies across the world on categories such as Digital Network Business, Energy Efficiency, Net Zero and Natural solutions.
