We’re very excited to be hosting tonight’s event: The #SovereignTechFellowship – Who Will Maintain Our Digital Future?
We’re slowly welcoming everyone here in Berlin and officially kicking off the evening. This event marks the conclusion of our very first Sovereign Tech Fellowship cohort, a moment to talk about why we started the program, share the insights from the evaluation of the pilot, and reflect on the impact and what we’ve learned.

Tonight, we’re sharing the stage with our Fellows, and our panelists — placing the Fellowship into a broader public-interest context and highlighting the crucial role of open source maintainers for society.
