Córdoba, the first Fab City of Argentina
The city of Córdoba is characterized by its entrepreneurial and innovative ecosystem. In recent years, the number of innovative ventures has grown and their profile has been raised.
One of the areas that has grown the most is that of entrepreneurial makers. These are specialized digital manufacturing ventures that use technologies such as 3D printing, electronics, programming, and other manufacturing tools to create innovative products.
In order to generate a social impact, environmental and productive innovation for the city, the director of COFACTORY, Alvaro Toledo, the Municipality of Córdoba and Corlab came together to implement actions that strengthen these high-impact principles that are aligned with the Fabcity philosophy.
On June 28, was the first meeting of CÓRDOBA FAB CITY stakeholders took place, where entrepreneurs, businessmen, academics and officials participated to begin working collaboratively on the challenges of the sector.
