Isabelle Parasram OBE to Keynote at NWG Innovation Festival 2025
We’re delighted to confirm that Isabelle Parasram OBE, CEO of The Institute for Social Value, will be delivering a keynote at this year’s Northumbrian Water Innovation Festival – one of the UK water sector’s most collaborative innovation events.
Isabelle will open the “Ripples of Impact” social value sprint on Monday 7 July, hosted at Newcastle Racecourse, helping set the tone for a four-day deep dive into sustainable, joined-up approaches to social value delivery. Drawing on ISV’s work and global case studies, she will contribute to the week’s goal: creating a replicable blueprint for long-term, place-based outcomes for those furthest from opportunity.
She will also join a panel of sector experts on Wednesday 9 July, testing bold ideas developed through the sprint and reflecting on opportunities for supply chain collaboration across infrastructure projects.
With over 2,000 attendees expected and a diverse mix of business leaders, local authorities, and major contractors, this promises to be a standout moment for advancing social value in the sector.
