Maker Faire Rome gives space to innovative projects that can tell the process of how innovation is realized and enrich the event with their content. Ideas, projects, innovative products, inventions—original or already validated, in the form of prototypes or already in production—especially those capable of improving the work or lives of a large number of people, are welcome at the event.
Your project will be evaluated by a jury based on the originality of the idea, technological innovation, social or environmental impact, and feasibility. The best projects will receive a free basic pre-set space to showcase their work during the three days of the event.
The audience
Maker Faire Rome 2025 opens to the public on Friday, October 17, Saturday, October 18, and Sunday, October 19, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Every year, the event hosts a curious and knowledgeable audience made up of innovators, makers, industry professionals, entrepreneurs, teachers, students, and enthusiasts.
Learning by doing: this is the spirit of the event. All participants will have the opportunity to experience projects that anticipate and tell the future in an informal context, where innovation is experienced with a participatory and educational approach. Through experiential learning, everyone can acquire concrete skills for a deeper understanding of the evolution of the world around us.
