What is a Fab Lab?

A Fab Lab (short for fabrication laboratory) is a space open to the public where all kinds of machine tools are available for designing and creating objects.

Fab Labs are for students, researchers, and the general public who want to express their creativity and move more quickly from the concept phase to the prototyping phase, or repair broken objects themselves.

They are the spaces for meeting and collaborative creation of tomorrow, disseminating research results and innovations around the world.

Launch of the project “Supporing Fab Labs in Niger”

The project, launched in November 2025, involved sponsoring two students from Abdou Moumouni University to participate in MakeAfrica 2025 in Cotonou.
