FabLabNet aims to foster international networks and links both with schools and businesses.

While local Smart Specialization Strategies (local S3) are the starting point to determine the distinctive features of each single fablab, the project objective is to uncover & share effective technical & organizational resources among the network, to develop innovative services for local communities, business and educational institutions and to set up and fine tune efficient communication. Pilot activities, both at national and transnational level, help the project to root & spread its well assessed knowledge, practices and capacities in a European horizon, a framework that connects the world of fablabs with a fully developed, advanced business field.
