The event showcased the Humber as a revolutionary force in the UK’s net-zero journey, underscoring the transformative power of partnerships between industry, government, and academia.
Over at the Aura Innovation Centre, The Waterline 2024 continued to spotlight the region’s remarkable contributions to tackling the climate emergency. Hosted by David Laister, Fred Marketing this year’s event celebrated the Humber’s resourceful ability to collaborate and innovate for a sustainable future.
