Nesta is an independent charity that works to design, test, and scale solutions to society's biggest challenges. Originally established in 1998 as NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) with a UK National Lottery endowment, it became an independent charity in 2012. The organization's mission focuses on three key areas: giving every child a fairer start, helping people live healthier lives, and creating a more sustainable future. Nesta uses a combination of expertise in research, data science, design, and the arts, alongside direct investment and program partnerships, to achieve its goals.
