The Maker Faire Rome, promoted and organized by the Rome Chamber of Commerce, is an event that facilitates and talks about innovation, connecting people and ideas in a physical and virtual ecosystem.
Innovation, in all its forms, will as always be the protagonist: from digital manufacturing to the Internet of Things, from robotics to artificial intelligence, from agritech to digital manufacturing, passing through big data and aerospace, up to to the latest discoveries of the metaverse and augmented reality.
