Today’s episode is a bonus, brought as a collaboration between Bristol Water, Anglian Water and Essex and Suffolk Water. It was recorded at Innovate East, a collaborative event put on to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing the water industry.
This episode explores digitalisation and sustainability – these are two topics of great importance and influence in today’s world.
The digital world is driven by the giant technological strides achieved by developments such as the Internet of things, artificial intelligence, robotics etc. It is all about the pursuit of efficiencies.
Sustainability issues are driven by climate change and environmental degredation leading to the need to preserve resources and prioritise environmental governance.
We discuss whether these two topics can ever come together and whether emerging digital technologies can help water companies deliver on their sustainability goals.
We hope you enjoy listening to this episode and look forward to hearing what you think of it.
