Launch of NESTA Connect - Innovation is a Contact Sport

 

NESTA Connect is a new programme, focused on creating new, unexpected or extreme collaborations - blurring the traditional boundaries between disciplines, organisations and places. We believe such collaboration has the potential to generate radical, transformation innovation.   To test our theory, NESTA Connect will develop a series of partnerships over the next three years, exploring how best to structure and support 'collaboration for innovation'.

Our initial focus is on interdisciplinary research, corporate open innovation, and online innovation communities. At the launch you will hear from some of our initial partners and we will outline our future calls for proposals.  

We would be delighted if you would join us to launch NESTA Connect, help shape our thinking, share your experiences of successful collaborations, and find out how to get involved 

Speakers:
  • Jonathan Kestenbaum, Chief Executive, NESTA
  • Prof Eric Von Hippel, Head of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Group, MIT
  • Jeremy Myerson, Director of Innovation RCA
