Innovation City will also be the platform for presentations and debates from the UK’s most forward-thinking companies, while visitors and exhibitors can also discover the investment opportunities available from Innovate UK and DBEIS.

As well as Innovation City, other key features at RWM 2017 include the RWM Connects Lounge in Hall Four, a complimentary matchmaking service allowing exhibitors and visitors to use the RWM database to arrange meetings prior to the show.

Hall Four also hosts the CIWM Resource and Waste Clinic, which will see industry experts on-hand over the course of the show offering advice and insight. And the UK’s Department for International Trade is also returning to RWM 2017 Hall Four to offer visitors and exhibitors the opportunity to gain insight and advice about exporting products and internationalising their business.

There will also be the opportunity to have some fun at RWM 2017 by making use of the four-hole crazy golf course and bar at the back of Hall Five, sponsored by Adtrak. It’s a great way to network in a relaxed setting away from the hubbub of the main show.

Nicola Meadows, RWM event director, Ascential, said, “Innovation lies at the heart of RWM 2017 – cutting edge technology and services are constantly pushing the boundaries of resource efficiency. With over 450 exhibitors and 11,000 visitors, RWM 2017 is the only place that the Energy, Water, Waste and Recycling markets can truly collaborate towards building a more resource efficient future for One Planet Living.”
