10. Accelerators…
Systema'c

flexible
way
to
support
new
businesses
and
entrepreneurs
Nesta
host
one
accelerator…
…and
have
invested
in
four
others

11. Challenge
Prizes…
Challenge
prizes
offer
a
reward
to
whoever
can
first,
or
most
effec$vely,
meet
a
defined
challenge.
They
act
as
an
incen$ve
for
mee$ng
a
specific
challenge,
rather
than
an
award
for
past
achievements.

12. Big
Data…
There’s
real
scope
to
harness
‘big
data’
to
create
jobs
and
tackling
unemployment
by
pooling
data
sources,
mapping
clusters
and
matching
skills
of
job
seekers
to
short
term
employer
needs.

13. Proving
Social
Innova'ons…
We
need
beber
data
and
rigorous
evalua$on
of
what
really
works
and
easy
access
to
compare
interven$ons.

14. Targeted
Interven'ons…
We
have
iden$fied
many
projects
and
programmes
which
address
par$cular
gaps
in
the
labour
market.
