With tech partners who are excited by the possibilities of conservation tech and eager to provide awards and support to real conservation and tech development projects, WILDLABS Fellowships can fuel the creativity, collaborations, and bold out-of-the-box thinking that will drive conservation technology forward and shape our field’s bright future. 

Whether they’re accelerating the development of a new tech tool, putting their expertise to use in the field, building collaborative tools and content for the global conservation tech community, or exploring the possibilities of cutting-edge innovations, WILDLABS’ Fellows will find the support they need to transform the intersection of conservation and technology.

Launched in 2021 in partnership with Edge Impulse, our first fellowship, the WILDLABS Fellowship: On the Edge, offers a $6,500 award to Fellows working on machine learning-based solutions!  

Just as importantly, Fellows will also gain access to cutting-edge AI resources and invaluable mentorship support from Edge Impulse’s machine learning experts, a platform to showcase their project’s progress, and the support of a conservation tech community seeking real-world solutions.

Open to applicants of all skill levels and career stages, the WILDLABS Fellowship: On the Edge can take your machine learning-powered idea to the next level. If your project could put $6,500 of funding, expert AI mentorship, and a global platform to good use to create an impactful tool or scalable idea, read the full WILDLABS Fellowship: On the Edge details here.
