Portées par l’économie numérique et l’Internet, de nouvelles pratiques innovantes viennent bousculer les fondements traditionnels de l’innovation. Tout particulièrement, les espaces appelés Fablab (FL) se multiplient aujourd’hui dans le monde entier. Cette vague initiée en 1998 par Neil Gerhenfeld, professeur du MIT, s’est largement diffusée depuis, et a conduit à la constitution d’un maillage de fablabs, que ce soit dans les pays développés ou dans les pays du Sud. Ces espaces collaboratifs (aussi appelés makerspaces), portés par une …[Lire la suite]
