Session 3 : Small Wind Ecosystems
11. African European Maker Innovation Ecosystem-mAkE
Joseph Agyina, Africa Makerspace Network, Ghana @ 16:00 EEST
Makerspaces are indispensable in today’s world, acting as catalysts for sustainable solutions to current and future challenges. Despite significant advancements in education, economic empowerment, and community resilience, these spaces face their own set of challenges. They often struggle with isolation from government agendas and policies, lack recognition for their contributions, and experience insufficient collaboration among themselves, particularly on a transcontinental scale. The mAkE project offers a range of opportunities, including the development of common policies between Africa and Europe, enhanced collaboration among makerspaces, Venture Building, Open Catalogue of Business Model,Skills -Mutual Recognition Standard, makerspace open toolkits, and the map of machinery to help makerspaces gain visibility and promote their activities globally. https://makeafricaeu.org/
