THE WATERLINE SUMMIT

THE WATERLINE SUMMIT 2022

Our 2030 Vision

Brought to you by Marketing Humber and the University of Hull with event partner Phillips 66, the fourth Waterline Summit was held on 17th-19th October in the Aura Innovation Centre at Bridgehead Business Park, in the heart of the Humber region.

Over three days, businesses large and small joined academics, industry experts and young people, to learn, discuss and tackle the greatest challenge of our time.

With a clear focus on both action and change, the event empowered delegates with information, resources and enablers for action, while also inspiring them with case studies, expert advice and real-world business support. Highlighting the critical need for delivery, the Humber region showcased why its move from negotiation to implementation is integral to the UK achieving its 2050 net zero target.

The Waterline launch, an interactive panel event was once again hosted by renowned television presenter and broadcast journalist Louise Minchin, who asked hard hitting questions of our national and regional experts about what matters to you in our region’s journey to net zero.

The Waterline Live provided the latest overview of the state of the planet, how climate change is impacting the UK and the global relevance of the Humber’s response in the ‘race to zero’ through decarbonisation of industry, energy transition with offshore wind expansion and Hydrogen development, plus growth of carbon capture, utilisation and storage networks. We heard how the critical mass of initiatives here is being recognised on a world stage as the Humber emerges not just as a UK but also an international exemplar in its response to the threats and opportunities. Catch up with the event and discover more about the challenges and opportunities that will change the way we all live and work for generations to come.
