Our story
Maker is a member-based non-profit association founded in 2015 as a platform for the maker movement in Denmark and the Nordics. Since then, we've evolved from a traditional makerspace into an open lab and community central for physical entrepreneurs, startups and independent creatives.
We develop, share and learn together with our members and across projects in the EU, in Denmark and in the Baltic Sea Region. Together with research institutions, companies, makerspaces and governments, we focus on sustainability and physical entrepreneurship; from open-source hardware to distributed design, aiming to transition makerspaces into circular spaces and develop sustainable practices for recycling materials, local production, and more.
What we have
Meet the team
We are approachable and cross disciplinary at the core and we embody this spirit through our urban presence. Meet us at upcoming events or maker festivals, or visit V–10, our open lab for sustainable product development in Copenhagen.
