The Frontier Tech Hub Network connects, informs, and inspires our growing global community of FCDO, technologists, NGOs, futurists and experts interested in the potential of frontier technologies to address critical global challenges.

Who is in the Frontier Tech Hub Network?

Our Network membership is diverse, international, and growing. Some of our members have deep expertise in particular technologies, while others have backgrounds in international development or policy.

When you sign up, we’ll ask you for some information about your background or interests which we can then use to help us tailor our events and newsletters.

What do we do?

  • On a semi-regular basis, we host virtual events that celebrate the work of our international cohort of pilots. Our events might be themed by technology (e.g Drones) geography (e.g. Latin America), or challenge (e.g. Climate), and they always put the testing and impact of our pilots on a stage.

    For example, we’ve hosted events which have reflected on the successes of now-completed pilots, and run discussions about the use of UAVs in medical contexts. Come along to be inspired.

  • From technical evidence generated by in-depth research to the practice-led learning that takes place on our pilots, the Frontier Tech Hub generates insights that need to be shared. The Network convenes semi-regularly throughout the year to offer our community the opportunity to be informed by and contribute to our growing library of evidence.

    For example, we’ve recently convened diverse panels of experts on Climate Financing and E-Mobility to contribute to reports. Come along to be informed.

  • Every month, we deliver all the latest news and more from across Frontier Tech Hub directly to your inbox. You’ll find updates from pilots, invitations to our events, opportunities to get involved, and more, in our Newsletter. Sign up to be updated.

  • We host a workshop series throughout the year that brings our cohort of FCDO pioneers together for moments of collective learning and upskilling on different topics that are important for success on the Frontier Tech Hub.

    Our workshop series, called “Launchpad”, focusses on Lean Methodologies, Storytelling for Impact, Capturing Evidence, and more.
