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.

Organised by Nesta Impact Investment and Inclusive Economy Team, Bridging the Gap: Impact Investment for a more Inclusive Economy was an evening of information and a networking opportunity for those who have already benefited from Impact Investment, those brand new to the arena and those who are feeling ready to take the next step and apply.

From an A-Z on the various forms of finance available to first-hand accounts of what it's like to have received investment, we heard from previous investees and Nesta’s Impact Investment team for best-in-class advice, support and peer-to-peer sharing.
