Identity Review’s mission is to shape the future of the data economy, through novel perspectives and industry news. That is why we launched the Identity Review Tech Innovation Fellowship, an opportunity for fellows to immerse themselves in the intersection of journalism and digital technologies. After receiving over 100 applications from schools across the country, we have selected five incredible fellows that have exhibited persistent leadership, unwavering creativity, divergent thinking and technical expertise.

As Tech Innovation Fellows, these incredible students will be writing and curating extensive reports, articles and content surrounding the digital identity and tech industry. With backgrounds in computer science, the humanities, entrepreneurship, journalism and social impact, our fellows have diverse interests and here to disrupt the industry with their work.
