Fab City Experts talked about the challenges that CAPS for Makers will have in the future during the Fab City Summit in Amsterdam, April 2016. Some MAKE-IT partners worked in the Fab City Whitepaper draft in Amsterdam Makerversity and Fab City Campus, and showed some of the conclusions at Park Huis de Zwiger.

Fab City is a global project to develop locally productive and globally connected self-sufficient cities. It comprises an international think tank of civic leaders, makers, urbanists and innovators working on changing the paradigm of the current industrial economy where the city operates on a linear model of importing products and producing waste. 

Frank Kresin was research director at Waag Society until 2017, responsible for the research programme. He stood at the start of many projects of Waag Society as well as others and concerned with themes like Creative Care, Future Internet, Open design and Open Data. Among the projects he (co-)founded are CineGrid Amsterdam, Apps for Amsterdam, Nederland Opent Data, Kies op Maat and Geheugen van Almere. Besides that, Frank also regularly presents and writes on transdisciplinary research in the creative industry. From 2017, Frank works as managing director at the Design Lab of the Technical University of Twente. He will stay connected to Waag Society as a fellow.
