NESTA, the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts, recently established NESTA Connect to explore how innovation can be stimulated through networks and collaborative working between different disciplines, organisations and places.

100 of the leading collaboratives in the UK were invited by NESTA Connect and Policy Unplugged to participate in Uploading Innovation, a conversation about how we shape our innovation policy and our programmes to ensure that they optimise the potential of the social, viral and community hallmarks of the Web.
