Maple Global Innovation Fellowship
Applications are open for the Maple Global Innovation Fellowship 2026, an international fellowship network connecting entrepreneurs, researchers, technology professionals, ecosystem leaders, mentors and innovators who contribute to innovation, entrepreneurship, technology, research and community development.
The fellowship is designed to bring together professionals who actively contribute to innovation ecosystems and can help identify emerging talent, connect organisations and communities, share knowledge and create international opportunities for innovators.
The programme is particularly relevant to professionals working in artificial intelligence, robotics, technology, research, entrepreneurship, engineering, education, investment and community building. Selected Fellows become part of the Maple ecosystem and can contribute through talent discovery, ecosystem connections, community engagement, knowledge sharing and professional expertise.
The fellowship is a limited 2026 appointment programme. Applications are reviewed individually, and submitting an application does not guarantee selection. The official Maple Awards information states that candidates are assessed based on their professional background, potential contribution, network relevance, innovation experience and alignment with the objectives of the Maple ecosystem.
The Maple Global Innovation Fellowship is an international network created for people who actively shape innovation in their region or professional field.
Rather than functioning solely as a recognition programme, the fellowship gives selected participants an opportunity to contribute to the Maple ecosystem. Fellows can help discover promising innovators, connect relevant organisations and communities, provide professional insights and support international collaboration.
The fellowship is separate from the Maple Awards Scientific Committee and Jury. Successful applicants receive the official title Global Innovation Fellow, The Maple Awards 2026.
