Polyinnovae AIA 1-year launchpad for people who want to build.
The Fellowship is our flagship. Fellows earn performance-based grants and rewards throughout, work on real business problems — including entering the US market — and finish with the chance to step into a full-time role with partners.
The only way in is the hackathon.Top performers in the August 2026 hackathon earn a place in the Fellowship — there's no separate application.
Earn as you learn. Build for real. A role at the end.
The Fellowship is built as one continuous arc — not a course, an internship, and a job search stitched together.
Grants & rewards, not fees
Performance-based grants and rewards across the full year — never a fee to take part, and never unpaid experience.
Real, live business problems
Multidimensional work across product, system design, development, security, and growth — applied to live projects, including US market entry.
A full-time role with partners
Perform, and step into a performance-based role with our partners. A strong launchpad for what's next.
We're looking for polymaths.
Not specialists in one lane — people who don't stick to one domain, and want to grow across all of them. Willing to go from engineering to cybersecurity to sales, and figure it out fast.
A polymath
You don't stick to one domain. You'll move from engineering to cybersecurity to sales — and enjoy the range.
A high aspirer
You want to build something that matters, and you aim high.
Willing to learn and grow
You pick things up fast and go deep — unafraid to start from zero, even at improv.
Product thinking
You think about the user and the outcome, not just the task in front of you.
One programme, five disciplines — because real problems don't come in one shape.
Product Thinking
Start from the user and the outcome — decide what's worth building, and why.
System Design + Architecture
Design how things fit together and scale, not just how they run today.
Product Development + QA
Build it, and make it hold up — ship quality, not just features.
Cybersecurity
Understand how things break, and defend them from the start.
Customer Growth
Marketing, sales, and customer success — turn a product into traction.
Everything, in one programme.
- Multidimensional training. Across product, system design, development & QA, cybersecurity, and customer growth — the skills that compound.
- Real business problems. Work on live projects that matter, including entering the US market.
- Performance-based grants & rewards. Earn grants and rewards through the programme, tied to how you perform — not a fee to take part.
- A role on completion. Performance-based roles with partners for those who deliver.
- Sponsored offsites. Build alongside your cohort in person, on us.
