Our thematic focus, Fabricating Equity, represents our vision of a world where economic, social, and educational gaps are reduced through equitable access to technological and educational tools.
We strive to provide equal opportunities so that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to digital transformation and innovation. We will explore how Fab Labs have become catalysts for change, empowering communities around the world.
Fabricating Equity is a call to action; through discussions, workshops, and presentations we seek to inspire new ideas and strategies to forge a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
The Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT and the Fab Foundation are facilitating local access to tools for innovation and production. They support the global Fab City Initiative and the global Fab Lab network by disseminating relevant knowledge and practices across the world. This includes foundational research into machine design, machine fabrication, sustainable material production and use, as well as education on using the tools and materials for sustainable and innovative solutions.
IDIT is an open innovation ecosystem that uses cutting-edge technology to develop innovative solutions for communities, companies and government through applied research projects in conjunction with academia.
As an innovation ecosystem, it seeks to bring the most advanced technology and knowledge of design and digital production to all people who have innovative ideas or projects with potential for success.
