Nesta is a research and innovation foundation. We apply our deep expertise in applied methods to design, test and scale solutions to some of the biggest challenges of our time, working across the innovation lifecycle.
Head of Technology Futures
Harry led Nesta’s futures and emerging technology work.
His work explored the potential impacts of new technology and innovations, like Artificial Intelligence (AI), on industry, society and the economy with a goal of supporting responsible innovation in a wide range of sectors. His work covered everything from machine learning, cybersecurity and the internet of things to nanosatellites and the emergence of local energy systems. He led Nesta’s thinking on the ethical and responsible development of technologies like AI and the development of innovation-enabling approaches to regulation, helping to develop and shape policy in and outside of government.
