Tangible Impact Outcomes

Throughout the program, Fellows will engage in bi-weekly check-ins with FTC Centre and project leads, learn and apply AI literacy as part of their research, collaborate across cultures, attend expert roundtables, and receive mentorship from global executives.

Fellow cohorts support FTC Centres, and global leaders on real-life projects and produce and publish a final research report for the global ecosystem and international media.

Research Fellows present findings and recommendations as part of the annual Future Talent Summit in Stockholm, Sweden (often referred to as “the Davos for talent”).
