Fablabs in Madrid● Fablabs in Madrid have complementary roles and focus at

different audiences that has different purposes.

● There is little communication between spaces, their communities and the projects being developed.

● 1st meeting of all fablabs was during Replic_age 2014 at Madrid.

Rome, 4th October 2014 Sara Alvarellos 10 | 20

Hypothesis● No sense in making competition, we should establish a

dialogue to be complementary and work together.

● A digital fabrication ecosystem led by FabLabs will generate a better and more innovative ecosystem, allowing entrepreneurs and creators to develop their projects at the city.

● FabLab Madrid Network is the key for a resilient ecosystem of innovation in the city.
