The Innovation Fellows Program supports extraordinary mid-career individuals and teams with ideas to leverage technology, science, policy and data thoughtfully to solve important societal challenges. We launched the Innovation Fellows program based on the following insight: there are many extraordinarily talented individuals and teams with “big ideas” to benefit the world. However, they often do not execute on these ideas due to a lack of funding, connections, and coaching and other catalytic support. The program does not just seek to provide recognition and a one-time windfall, but to serve as an ongoing force-multiplier for the Fellows and their ideas, and bring them together in a community of ambitious innovators.
