"Maker Faire Rome – explains Lorenzo Tagliavanti, President of the Rome Chamber of Commerce – is an inclusive event, where technology is available to everyone, not only to the insiders. This spirit has accompanied us since the first edition and we have kept it intact over the years. The opening of the calls is always an exciting and important phase: we look forward to hundreds of ideas and projects that can change our lives for the better and contribute to the digital and sustainable transformation that is underway."
"Last year - says Luciano Mocci, President of Innova Camera, Special Company of the Rome CCIAA [Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Crafts and Agriculture] – we crossed the 10-year milestone. Ten editions of Maker Faire Rome that have brought together people, ideas, opinions, knowledge and skills from all over the world, creating increasingly strong and indissoluble bonds thanks to the universal language of innovation. The 2023 edition will "collect" all that has been built to date".
