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.

We delivered a collaborative programme to help senior policymakers create a more inclusive digital economy.

Digital Frontrunners was set up as an initiative for senior policymakers, experts and practitioners in the Benelux and Nordic regions to support the creation of better skills policy through collaboration, research and experimentation. Through a tailored programme of workshops and mentoring led by Nesta, Digital Frontrunner participants have developed projects that enhance the capacity of their governments to build a workforce fit for the future.
