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.

For the past decade, Nesta has been supporting the innovators working tirelessly with communities and citizens to create people-powered solutions to some of our greatest challenges. But what have we learnt from those working inside, alongside and outside of public services?

From loneliness and isolation to entrenched inequalities, hear from how approaches have been designed differently and what needs to happen to take this from margins to mainstream, to support healthier and happier communities. Join the conversation, exchange ideas and discover what’s next for reshaping people-powered public services fit for the 21st Century.
