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.
Young people
Increasing the UK’s capacity for innovation in the future means engaging today with the innovators of tomorrow. An important strand of NESTA’s work focuses on developing from an early age the innovative skills and attitudes – creativity, adaptability, teamwork and an informed view of risk – that underpin successful innovation.
