Daunting challenges face the UK's public services, not least climate change, declining health and a rapidly ageing population.
At the same time, the economic downturn and tighter spending constraints are putting immense pressure on our public services to find more efficient and cost effective methods of delivery, without compromising on quality.
NESTA is applying its expertise to find innovative ways of delivering our public services. More effective solutions at cheaper cost will only come through ingenuity.
Our Public Services Innovation Lab is trialling some of the most innovative solutions and bringing them to scale across the country's public services.
