“We cannot predict the future, but we can invent it” Dennis Gabor

Innovation is a core part of our business and critical to the long-term success of Bristol Water and the wider utilities industry.

At Bristol Water we operate an ‘Open Innovation’ philosophy. We publish our innovation challenges and invite anyone to collaborate with us to solve them.

If you’re an entrepreneur, academic or leading company with innovative solutions that can push the industry forward, we want to hear from you!

Our challenges are shared by many others and our progress towards solving them should be too!

In the spirit of our Open Innovation philosophy, we decided to launch this podcast – Innovation: An Endless Pursuit - to share the learnings, experience and the insights from our internal and external innovation network.

In each episode your host, Chris Thomas, Head of Improvement and Innovation, will be joined by experts from across our external innovation network and colleagues from Bristol Water to explore a theme related to our innovation quest and share their insights and advice for others in the industry.

We hope you enjoy listening to it and please do reach out to us with your own ideas on the quest – we’re always looking for help and collaboration on the journey. You can get in touch at innovation@Bristolwater.co.uk
