Programmes
Innovation thrives when talented people with creative ideas are given the right support, stimulation and incentives. NESTA’s Programmes are designed to find out – through building and testing different innovation models – the best ways to make that happen.
Overview
We are currently focusing on four main areas of interest (exlore via the tabs on the right or the sections to the left):
Collaborative innovation: putting people and organisations together in unusual combinations to spark new ideas and new perspectives on old problems.
The creative economy: exploring new ways for creative organisations to develop their innovation capacity and drive growth.
Social innovation and finance: finding innovative ways, including new sources of risk capital for social ventures, to improve public services and tackle major social issues.
Young people and innovation: working with tomorrow’s innovators to develop the skills and attitudes that underpin successful innovation.
