Cergy-Pontoise Gennevilliers. Paris, Feb 2013

Minister of France, w/ 4
ministers 2013.2.28

14. PM Ayrault and 4 Minister and the Governor
visited FacLab near Paris, Feb 28, 2013 to
“catch up” the Netherland
This Thursday, February 28, 2013, the FacLab (at the
University of Cergy-Pontoise, Gennevilliers ) received the
visit of Jean-Marc Ayrault, Prime Minister, accompanied
by Flower Pellerin (Minister Delegate to the Minister of
Recovery productive, responsible Small and Medium
Business, Innovation and the Digital
Economy), Geneviève Fioraso (Minister for Higher
Education and Research), Nicole Bricq(Minister of
Trade) and Victorin Lurel (Minister of Overseas ), not
forgetting Mr. Pierre-André Peyvel, prefect of Hauts de
Seine, in full uniform.
François Germinet, President of the University, has
guided all these people (and many other accompanying
with a bunch of journalists) to our magical den to pass
the baton to Emmanuelle Roux, Laurent and Olivier
Ricard Gendrin.

15. What is a “FabLab”?
 A fab lab (fabrication laboratory) is a small-
scale workshop offering (personal) digital fabrication
 A fab lab is generally equipped with an array of flexible
computer controlled tools that cover several different length
scales and various materials, with the aim to make "almost
anything"
 This includes technology-enabled products generally perceived
as limited to mass production
 While fab labs have yet to compete with mass production and
its associated economies of scale in fabricating widely
distributed products, they have already shown the potential to
empower individuals to create smart devices for themselves.
 These devices can be tailored to local or personal needs in
ways that are not practical or economical using mass
production

33. From Barcelona, by
Artur Serra
Oct 31, 2013Hi Izumi
We are creating Barcelona Laboratori, an umbrella for
the different "labs" that are emerging in the city. Fablab
is one of the "families", but there are others.
Even in the digital fabrication area there are several
approaches like "makers", "reprap", and other "fablabs"
not directly connected with MIT.
What kind of fablab is yours?
My approach is creating an open Lab in the city that
could interconnect these several labs.
I'm sending my strategy.
Best
Artur

34. “The Lab”: the new meme.

35. 36
Potential of FabLab
 Build new type of Information Society
 Develop next generation of leaders
 Innovate not only manufacturing, but
the whole society together
 Creating “Sharables”/linkages instead of
products
 Combined with ICT, traditional
craftsmanship will leap
 Deeply rooted with community
 Global reach and collaboration

36. 37SocialFab 2013
Fields covered by FabLab
 Appropriate Technology
 Art
 Empower small factories
 New type of R&D
 Business and Commerce
 Empower local community
 Education

37. 38SocialFab 2013
Some Issues and Challenges
 Sustainable Development
 Human Resources
 Business base/model
 Education
 Legal Issues
 Open Source vs IPR
 Product Liability
 Licensing Schemes
 Standardization
 Global standard
 Global Policy Framework
 Governance

39. What is “unConference”
 Restaurant without Menu
 Maybe without Chef, either
 Everyone to make the recipes and dishes
 Similar to Bar Camp, Hackathon etc.

40. Let us design the
Future of
Industry, Mobility and Making
 What will happen to Industry
 Industry: social system to produce and deliver
products and services to citizens
 unIndustry?
 unIndustry – citizens will make and share their
own products and services

41. Mobility 交通・移動

45. Game Change for Auto Industry
just like the one happened in mobile
network market by Apple and google?
Who will change and How?

46. unConference in Paris
everyone was organizing, making the workshop,
theme, program, outcome
The term "unconference" first appeared in an
announcement for the annual XML developers
conference in 1998.

47. Open Source Vehicle and FabLab Renault
contributed the ingredients

48. Open Source Vehicle
• Provide Open Module for making cars
Anyone can make cars, with free data for chassis
You can customize them
Providing Platforms
Global operation, 6,000 euros for basic Kit

49. What if?
 Uniqlo or Gap starts to make/sell cars?
 Do we really need cars in the current market?
 Simple design, changeable parts, longer life
 Auto industry as a whole based on one platform
 can be challenged by many outside actors such as:
 Google, Tesla, OSV, and YOU

50. Changing Environment
 Explosion of Urban Population
 Aging Society and rise of Digital Natives
 Energy challenges
World Car production by power train

76. Why not “Slow Car”?
Slow Way and Slow Cities?
 Slow car to follow Slow food?
 Sloe Ways to follow High Ways?
 Best Speed in addition to Max Speed?
 Slow Mobility?
 Slow Life?
 Slow City?
 Slow Society?
The resources in Planet Earth are very limited,
therefore we need to use them very slowly
