The Leaders in Innovation Fellowships

The Leaders in Innovation Fellowships (LIF) programme is run by the Royal Academy of Engineering and funded by the UK Government’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. LIF brings together emerging leaders who have an engineering-based innovation that has the potential to contribute to the social and economic development of their country through commercialisation. 

LIF Global provides engineering and technology innovators with access to high-quality skills training focused on commercialisation and maximising their technology’s impact on society; a network of peers in their home country, the UK and around the world; and experienced mentors helping to create strategic partnerships.
