WHAT WE DO FOR BUSINESSES
As the Flood Innovation Centre project draws to a close, we are working through projects with organisations that have already registered for support. Regrettably, we are unable to take on any new registrations.
We have been helping organisations to understand their flood risk, how to be better protected from flood events and bounce back more quickly after a flood event.
We have also helped many businesses to develop innovative services, processes and products in flood resilience to support their move into the growing flood resilience market.
Located in the Humber, the UK’s most flood-prone region after London, the University of Hull is home to exceptional academic research and cutting-edge equipment to enable businesses and our communities become better prepared for rising flood risks
