A series of webinars on business models as part of the MAKE project, in partnership with GIG and Manufacturing Change.
|
The first webinar took place on Wednesday 18th January and was focused on consultancy as an element of the business model for makerspaces.
|
|
|
In its first year, the mAkE project has succeeded in producing new resources, a video, and taking the first steps towards: providing makerspaces, entrepreneurs, SMEs, and start-ups with open resources and new open standards and tools to enable them to build sustainable businesses; and fostering networks of local, smart production and cooperation between European and African Digital Innovative Hubs and other relevant stakeholders.

Toloka is a traditional form of solidarity support in Ukraine, and with that in mind, the Tolocar project uses mobile makerspaces equipped with tools, consumables, and makers to support humanitarian activities in Ukraine. Ukrainian and German partners work together in projects which use mobile makerspaces in various ways, e.g., the reconstruction of infrastructure which was destroyed by the Russian war on Ukraine; the renovation of buildings either damaged by airstrikes or needed for housing internally displaced people (IDP); the production of machine replacement parts for civilian use; community engagement and cultural relief activities.

Since the second half of 2022, GIG has been invested in producing content and arranging for a series of events for the Innovation Global Project.
|
|
This project’s aim was not only to Showcase Innovation in the Global South, rather it was also and most importantly to educate development cooperation organizations, digitally interested public, innovators and hubs on how local actors from countries in the global south contribute to solving local and global development challenges in terms of the SDGs and what innovations there are for the rest of the world to learn from. Through providing ground for these “two words” to merge, Innovation Global Project also aimed to promote innovation through matchmaking and networking.
