Innovation Index
In the 2008 DIUS White Paper on innovation, John Denham, the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills, charged NESTA with producing an Innovation Index to measure the UK's performance as an innovation nation.
We take this responsibility very seriously. The Index must be rigorous, accurate and inclusive. We hope that over time it will set a new international standard for the measurement of innovation.
The intellectual task is not one that NESTA can, or should, undertake alone, so we've begun a process of detailed planning and consultation.
Following a launch event on 7 July, we opened a call for ideas (which has now closed) and set up a web forum for you to contribute to the Index.
For further details please visit the Index website.
