Maker Faire Rome welcomes projects at every stage — from early prototypes to production-ready inventions — with a particular interest in work that addresses real needs and improves how people live, learn or work.
Each year, the open Calls invite makers, students, researchers, universities and innovators to submit their projects for consideration.
A jury evaluates each submission on originality, innovation, social or environmental impact, and practical feasibility.
Projects selected through the calls for makers and schools receive exhibition space at no cost.
Reach a broad, qualified and curious audience, and connect with the people and organisations shaping innovation across Europe and beyond.
Maker Faire Rome is where technologies meet the public, ideas find partners, and projects gain visibility.
Choose from modular stands, space-only areas and collective spaces for incubators, startups and SMEs.
Maker Faire Rome – The European Edition is open to the public from 23 to 25 October 2026.
Three days of hands-on demonstrations, workshops, talks and performances, open to everyone and built around a simple idea: technology is best understood when people can see it, test it and try it for themselves. Each edition brings together makers, researchers, students, families and professionals curious to explore what is being built, tested and shared today.
Tickets can only be purchased online.
The programme includes exhibitions, workshops, talks and educational activities for all ages.
