Emerging technology is already transforming the way we produce goods, allowing more people to join in the design and fabrication process.
What if we could reconfigure it to build a sustainable system, an Internet of Production that was globally networked, but locally executed?

Join us to hear “Stories of Open Hardware” and see how this future is already here.

From manufacturing humanitarian equipment, to transferring skills, to making protective equipment during the covid-19 pandemic, the panelists build a picture of what a future open Internet of Production might look like.
You will learn about the 2 first data standards released by the Internet of Production Alliance, part of a series of open infrastructure aiming at enabling global decentralized open hardware production:
- Open Know-Where: to map manufacturing capabilities so that we may “Know Where” something can be made.
- Open Know-How: for sharing hardware designs and documentation online, to “Know How” something can be made.

“A virus that can learn, adapt, spread rapidly across borders needs a response that can do the same.” Wikifactory
“It’s a gamechanger for the way we provide humanitarian aid and disaster relief – not built on global supply chains, but on local capabilities” Field Ready
