    The MakerSpace is a non-profit organisation working to unlock the latent potential within people. We believe in working collaboratively, creatively and leveraging technology in a productive way.

    We work in underdeveloped regions, striving to build a “bottom-up economy”, empowering marginalized people to achieve greatness.

    Chris Anderson defined the Maker Movement as “the new industrial revolution”, later Klaus Schwab of the WEF popularised the term “The Fourth Industrial Revolution” now commonly known as 4IR.

    The Revolution is changing the way we work and live. Ultimately 4IR will mean anyone can make anything anywhere. Everyday more people are joining the revolution as they realise the creative potential within themselves and the possibilities new technologies unlock.

    Makers make things, using both cutting edge technology and age old methods, or often a combination of both. Makers find value in making something by hand, giving a physical product more value because of the thoughtful, careful and useful way it is designed and made. Makers are not aiming for mass market for their product, they are simply expressing something they love, and in the process creating something worthwhile for the niche that they represent. Makers openly share resources, expertise, equipment and encouragement because they choose to believe that we can do more together than we can apart.

    We work with the following companies:
