About the session

The Government Industrial Strategy puts innovation and technology at its heart.  If the UK is to prosper and improve economic growth and productivity, fostering and developing innovation and innovators will be key.  Network companies are already incentivised to innovate under the current RIIO regulation, to help create smarter energy grids, reduce carbon emissions and deliver financial benefits to customers. This session will explore the gas and electricity combined innovation strategy, how technology innovators can test, demonstrate and make available their innovations, and how to make innovation business as usual.
