The world maker community promptly presented itself to the front of the global fight against contamination by the new coronavirus. The chosen front was one that quickly proved to be more fragile and susceptible: the lack of hospital supplies. Since the pandemic was announced, people from the four corners of the world connect daily, at an impressive speed, to do what they can. A move that is making a difference and has already gone down in history.

OUR MISSION

Olabi - an organization that seeks to democratize technologies to build a fairer world - accompanied the birth of many of these actions and initiatives, which appear everywhere, at all times. We quickly realized the need to create a place where people from different backgrounds, regions and roles can meet, exchange information, provide expertise, dialogue, join forces, share projects and - above all - join forces.

The goal was to organize - as far as possible - information on the production of hospital equipment, which is decentralized, and to help connect the multiple actors working together to combat the pandemic (makers, designers, engineers, public managers and private institutions, doctors, nurses, researchers, entrepreneurs, students…) in our country.
