Welcoming the 2026 APNIC general and Policy Fellows

The 2025 APNIC Fellowship graduation at APNIC 60 in Da Nang, Viet Nam.

The APNIC general and Policy Fellowship programs are designed to support participation in APNIC meetings and the broader Internet ecosystem by lowering barriers to access and enabling meaningful engagement. For many Fellows, the programs provide a first opportunity to take part in regional technical, operational, and policy discussions. For others, it supports continued contribution and leadership within the community.

Following a highly competitive selection process, the 2026 Fellowship cohorts bring together professionals, students, researchers, and policy practitioners representing 15 economies across the Asia Pacific region. More than 60% of the Fellows are under 30, in line with the program's focus on uplifting youth and early-to-mid career professionals.

Together, the 2026 Fellows reflect APNIC's ongoing commitment to capacity building, community participation, and the development of an open, stable, and secure Internet that serves the entire Asia Pacific community.

APNIC is proud to welcome the 2026 general and Policy Fellows.

APNIC looks forward to supporting the 2026 general and Policy Fellows throughout their Fellowship journey and beyond. As they participate in meetings, project-based learning, and community discussions, these Fellows contribute not only their own perspectives, but also those of the communities they represent.

We congratulate all 2026 Fellowship recipients and welcome them into the APNIC Fellowship community.
