Future Government Institute

Fellowship Program

The FGI Fellowship is a prestigious and collaborative network of trailblazers from government, academia, and industry who are actively shaping the future of public sector innovation. Fellows are recognised for their outstanding leadership, reform achievements, and contributions to advancing digital governance at scale.

More than an honorary title, the Fellowship is a living, contributing community.

Our Fellowship:

  • Advise on emerging technology, ethics, digital policy, and public impact
  • Guide the strategic direction of the Future Government Institute and its initiatives
  • Contribute to research publications, masterclasses, and speaking engagements
  • Mentor CFGP candidates and early-career public servants
  • Lead conversations and peer-to-peer learning across the global FGI network

Fellowship is granted by invitation and signals a commitment to collaborative innovation, knowledge sharing, and long-term public value. Together, Fellows amplify impact across borders, build capacity within institutions, and model the values of transparency, trust, and transformation that underpin Government 3.0.
