Northumbrian Water's Innovation Festival will return as a live event in July following a two-year hiatus caused by the pandemic.
The event, which brings together innovators from the worlds of science, technology and business, will return to Newcastle Racecourse between July 12-15 with the theme of 'untapped potential'.
Organisers expect to attract thousands of attendees, both physically and digitally, for a series of design sprints, hacks, workshops and activities aimed at solving difficult problems such as climate change, cyber security, and water scarcity.
