DSIT tech secondees

techUK is proud to be working with DSIT again to deliver industry secondee placements across Government.

With 25 places available, experts will have the opportunity to complete 12-month, part-time secondments as part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) Fellowship, where they will help make the UK an AI powerhouse and strengthen our digital and cyber resilience, as well as securing leadership in semiconductors, advancing quantum technologies, and championing digital inclusion. 

Download the DSIT Fellowship brochure here for more information, and the DSIT Fellowship application form here.

Placements span four core themes:

  • AI – from deepfake threats to AI for science, regulation and adoption
  • Technology – including semiconductors, digital standards, and telecoms resilience
  • Futures Thinking – including quantum, climate security, and space policy
  • Public Sector Innovation – from digital inclusion to commercial innovation and science capability

By shaping national strategies, Fellows will address pressing policy challenges and ensure innovation delivers tangible benefits for citizens and businesses, driving a more secure, inclusive, and digitally empowered society.

The Fellowship offers a unique bridge between Government and the tech ecosystem – bringing expertise into policymaking and giving top talent a front-row seat at the heart of national decision-making.

Fellows will gain rare access to government decision-making, professional development, and powerful cross-sector networks. Organisations benefit too – with secondees returning equipped with new insights, connections, and strategic experience.

Applications close 3 June 2025. Full details and how to apply are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dsit-fellowship. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
