What is NESTA?
NESTA, the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts, is working to transform the UK's capacity for innovation and develop its creative potential.

It invests in all stages of the innovation process, backing new ideas and funding new ventures that stimulate entrepreneurship.

The DCMS is the government department responsible for NESTA. We support their investments in outstanding ideas and the people who have them.
