The Global Digital Development Forum returns on May 5th. Join us there for a conversation with innovators and researchers who are flipping the globalized manufacturing paradigm: building local or regional platforms linking designers, buyers, and manufacturers.
Makerko, Juakali Smart and the Virtual Factory Network are at diverse levels of advancement in creating their platforms. We will explore what is needed in those platforms, what challenges they face, and make a case for supporting local platforms in an age of global solutions.
