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.

Cards for the Future

We’re used to the future being presented to us as bleak, from global warming to increasing economic inequality. But another future is possible - one where technology is used to tackle the challenges of the years to come, and where it unites us rather than divides us.

As part of the DSI4EU project, we developed 'Cards for the Future', based on Situation Lab’s 'The Thing from the Future', to encourage people to think about positive visions of technology and society through play. The print-and-play edition of the game allows anyone to download the material and rules needed to play the game. The game is published under a Creative Commons license CC BY-NC-SA 2.0.
