The Pop-Up Circular Hub (PUCH) exhibition was a temporary hub for circular economy actors in and around Hamburg and took place from November 20 to December 8, 2023. The New Production Institute set up a microfactory to bring local production closer to Hamburg's citizens with individual building workshops.
At the beginning of March 2024, the New Production Institute leads a one-week hackathon to solve industry-relevant problems in the OpenLab Tunis at the CETTEX technical center in Tunis, Tunisia. In the hackathon, the work in an open laboratory for production technologies will be tested in a practical way using various industry-specific cases and the prototyping process will be monitored.
The 'Center for Transnational IP, Media and Technology Law and Policy' at Bucerius Law School is tasked as a project partner in the dtec.bw project 'Fab City - Decentralized Digital Production for Urban Value Creation' with the legal examination of the Fab City and Open Lab infrastructure.
Locally produced. Globally connected. The Fab City project aims to establish resilient and sustainable cities by pursuing an integrative approach. This approach includes the sharing of knowledge within a global network and the systematic characterization of infrastructure technologies for local production.
