🌍 Bridge the Gap at FAB25: Why This Theme? When we started planning FABx in Czechia, we were still on the periphery of the FabLab network—open workshops filled with digital and manufacturing tools where anyone can create, innovate, and learn. Today, the situation is different—after all, we are hosting the international FAB25 conference! Yet, many regions in Central and Eastern Europe still lack access to these opportunities or remain on the margins of the innovation ecosystem. That’s why we chose Bridge the Gap as our theme. Our vision is to connect communities, share knowledge, and strengthen the FabLab network where it can have the greatest impact. 💡 How do we plan to achieve this? 🔹 Supporting the development of FabLabs in regions where they are missing. 🔹 Opening key discussions for the maker, innovator, and educator communities. 🔹 Inspiring action—fostering collaboration and driving innovations with real impact. 📍 FAB25 takes place in two of the most dynamic cities in Czechia—Brno and Prague—hubs of innovation, creativity, and technology. Join us and be part of this transformation! 🎟️ Discounted tickets are still available on our website. #FAB25 #BridgeTheGap #FutureOfMaking #TechForGood #MakersMovement #STEM

Meet one of the speakers at FAB25: Josef Prusa! If you’ve ever heard that Prague is the city of 3D printing, it’s largely thanks to Josef Prusa—entrepreneur, innovator, and passionate advocate for open-source technology. 🚀 As the Founder & CEO of Prusa Research, Josef has transformed the world of digital manufacturing, making high-quality 3D printing accessible to individuals, businesses, and educational institutions worldwide. His Prusa i3 printers have become an industry standard, used in workshops, schools, research labs, and even for commercial production. Josef’s journey is a true success story of innovation and perseverance. He began exploring 3D printing as a student and quickly became one of the most influential figures in the industry, driving technological advancements and championing knowledge sharing. At FAB25, Josef will share his insights on the future of 3D printing, open-source development, and how digital fabrication is shaping industries and education. 📍 Join us at FAB25 and be part of the conversation! #FAB25 #JosefPrusa #3DPrinting #Innovation #DigitalManufacturing
