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.

Is social infrastructure the solution to building happier, healthier and more resilient communities? Leaving the erosion of civic space in the past, we need to look towards the innovation that will help us build connections, support community creativity and encourage problem-solving.

Join us as we explore not just the physical infrastructure that could transform our highstreet and neighbourhoods, but what will underpin it to enable communities to dare to dream, solve the challenges and seize the opportunities in the coming years.
