Produce locally, network globally

Produce locally, recycle everything, network globally: these are the core principles of Fab City. Fab City is a response to the challenges of the present, foremost among them: climate change. With a comprehensive circular economy, new production processes using publicly accessible machines, new digital infrastructure for the city, and broad participation from urban residents, we can do our part.

In 2019, Hamburg became the first German city to commit to becoming a Fab City – together with 41 other cities worldwide. More than 20 Hamburg organizations, companies, and institutions are working together to make this vision a reality on the Elbe river. You can become a part of it! This site shows which projects and opportunities are up and running, how you can get involved, and much more. Let’s make Hamburg a Fab City!
