Innovative technologists and engineers make up the talented cohort of fellows who will learn how to shape and advocate technology policy
San Francisco, CA & Washington, DC, January 8, 2020 — The Aspen Tech Policy Hub announced its second cohort of Incubator Fellows, who will focus on how to advocate for solutions to a wide range of vital technology policy issues. The group of leading technologists and engineers will undergo intensive training to learn the policy process and develop toolkits to explain and advocate technology policy issues.
The Incubator Fellows join the Aspen Tech Policy Hub from Google, Facebook, Salesforce, the U.S. government, state and local governments, and other public, private and nonprofit ventures across the United States.
“I’m thrilled to welcome our second cohort of fellows,” said Betsy Cooper, founding director of the Aspen Tech Policy Hub. “The winter 2020 fellows embody the program’s entrepreneurial public service mission and I look forward to watching them work together to grow and develop innovative ideas at the intersection of technology and policy.”
The winter 2020 Aspen Tech Policy Hub fellows include:
The new class of Incubator Fellows will be in residence from January to mid-March 2020. During their residency, fellows will produce at least one practical policy output — for instance, mock legislation, toolkits for policymakers, white papers, op-eds, or an app—and will ‘exit’ the incubator by presenting their ideas to a stakeholder with decision-making authority over that issue.
The fellows published recommendations that federal agencies centralize and redesign reporting systems. They also built and tested a working prototype of a new reporting form, and shared these materials with relevant nonprofits and government agencies.
