On December 1-3, the Fiera di Roma will once again host the “Maker Faire Rome – The European Edition 4.0”.

 

The fifth edition of the event is organized by the Rome Chamber of Commerce and Innova Camera.  For three days, Rome will become the hub of European innovation culture. In just a few years, the event has become a reference point for innovators, digital artisans, entrepreneurs and many others. Participation has constantly risen. The last edition featured over 110,000 visitors, 649 maker projects and 88 sponsors, while 12,500 kids participated in labs.

 

In 2016, the FMD brought 11 projects to the maker faire (both individual and collective) that were developed by makers at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym Fab Lab. Moreover, FMD also animated the Kids Area with 14 labs and a didactic area with robotics competitions and an original track with cars invented and developed at the Fab Lab.

 

During the event, @fmdigitale was the third most popular Twitter profile in terms of mentions. With Project Bamboo Bike Lab, Phyrtual Innovation Gym Maker Guglielmo Lisi won the prestigious Maker of Merit Award [see news in Italian: Gugliemo, il maker che pedala "green"].

 

The new edition will address a range of issues, including: Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, new agricultural technology, smart mobility, recycling and reuse, sustainable construction, robotics, virtual and augmented reality, health and wellbeing, and science and biotechnology.
