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.

The project: Innovate.ph

The team diagnosed that the Filipino innovation system was hampered by a lack of adoption of research and development (R&D) outputs and existing technologies, a lack of government cooperation and a lack of information. Their project aims to strengthen interdepartmental information sharing by creating a platform to be used by all agencies to support R&D activities.
