About Organization

TechCongress operates the Congressional Innovation Fellowship, a competitive program that embeds technologists directly into federal legislative offices for one year. Fellows work alongside Members of Congress and Congressional Committees to inform policy decisions on emerging technology issues. Based in San Francisco, CA, the organization bridges the gap between the technology sector and federal policymaking.

Advancing informed federal legislation on emerging technologies through direct technologist engagement with Congressional offices
