Our relationship with Nesta
Nesta is the UK’s innovation agency for social good. We design, test and scale new solutions to society’s biggest problems, changing millions of lives for the better. Nesta has used investment as a way of supporting and scaling innovation since it was founded over 20 years ago.
Our investment work at Nesta Impact Investments engages early stage businesses that drive social or environmental impact aligned to Nesta’s three innovation missions working to promote a fairer start, a healthy life and a sustainable future. Many of these solutions need investment to achieve scale and sustainability. This provides a unique opportunity for investors to back enterprises creating products and services that will change the world for good. This makes these enterprises more resilient to change in an era of economic development shaped by the rapidly changing forces of technology, resource sustainability and demographics.
