About Nesta

Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.

Once you have identified a policy you want to test and decided who you want to test it with, there are 7 main steps to running a trial. This section goes through each of these steps in turn. Download the accompanying resources and work through them as you go.
