We’ll be running monthly talks where you can hear from Nesta staff about different innovation approaches we’re using and what we’ve been learning. The first session was an introduction from our Chief Executive Geoff Mulgan, where he discussed what the world has learned about innovation over the last couple of hundred years - and why so much of what's said about innovation is wrong.

The aim of Nesta Sparks is to share learning both across Nesta and our networks and each session will include practical takeaways as well as an open Q&A.

Nesta Sparks is open to all who are interested in hearing about our approaches and experiences of innovating, and we look forward to seeing you there.
