The Frontier Tech Hub enables FCDO to invest in early-stage ideas and radical technology solutions, build capacity to develop, use and govern technology responsibly and support locally led innovation. The programme earned the Civil Service Award for Innovation in 2017, and in 2019 Ministers agreed to scale-up the work.

🚀 We work with FCDO colleagues to fund, test and scale frontier technologies worldwide, by calling for ideas to test frontier technologies in the real world. Since 2016, we’ve supported 75 ideas and engaged 95 FCDO staff across 30+ countries. Click here to explore our portfolio.

⚡️ We connect FCDO colleagues with one another and the world of tech, helping them to explore the future, being critically curious about what radical technological transformation means for the future, and consequently, FCDO. Click here to join our Network.

💡 We gather and share learnings from across our portfolio of pilot projects, sharing thought leadership from the frontier of tech for impact within the FCDO’s work, and deep diving into the positive potential of tech. Click here to explore our latest evidence outputs.

The Frontier Tech Hub is managed by a consortium of partners: Results for Development (R4D), DT Global and Brink.
