Open Innovation Labs for Open Entrepreneurship
CERN, 9 September 2015Paul Bristow, Co-founder
Classic Startup Route1. Have an idea
2. Protect it3. Find investment4. Exploit it5. Become immensely rich
An open source toolkit for entrepreneurs
Open Source software has changed the world…
Freely shareable open source software has changed the entire world, bringing us:
Linux, most of the internet, the majority of websitesWikipedia, the Creative CommonsAndroid, most mobile phones100,000’s of new SMEsToday >86% of all companies worldwide use open source software
… but software was just the start
The Open source revolution is moving to the real world
Open Source Hardware shares designs for physical objects that you can manufacture anywhere
MOOCs are open source applied to education
The next twenty years will see immense changes in the way we do things

Open Source HardwareThe price of flexible machines for making things is collapsing
3D Printers were €20,000 in 2010, now available from €200
The core enabling technology is low-cost electronics and open source machine control

The LocalFab RenaissanceMake physical things inexpensively
Add intelligence with open source electronics and software
Connect them to the Internet of Things
Resulting in an explosion of innovation everywhere. Why not here too?
Since August 2014…
Open Innovation Labs, based around an entrepreneurial, ecological fablab.
“Fab Labs give people the tools they need to create technology and make (almost) anything”

About us
We are a team of entrepreneurs with a shared passion for open innovation.
We aim to create experimental laboratories, to prototype ideas and create businesses
We see an ecological fablab as a tool for expanding open source innovation beyond the software world into more tangible things

2D drawing Laser cutter or CNC
3D model 3D Printer or CNC
In a short time, you go from an idea in your head to your idea in your hand!
Cost balance is shifting

We can accelerate
this trend, using
Working with ecologically sound materials
Bio-plastics where possible Composite wood/PLA
Recycled ABS/PET/HDPE
Local Wooden offcuts Local Aluminium offcuts
Local Recycling
and other similar projects
“Working all day to destroy the planet
Circular Economy
Inserting ourselves into the local industrial ecosystem
Here in GenevaThe Geneva area has mostly lost it’s prototyping ecosystem.
It’s not in great shape for the Internet of Things.
Even industries like watches and jewellery are too traditional to innovate.
…part of the solutionA FabLab provides a shared resource for the entrepreneurial community: digital fabrication equipment and expertise for physical prototyping and small production runs.
An entrepreneurial FabLab is part of the collaborative economy, sitting alongside co-working spaces as a resource for local entrepreneurs starting their activities.
For example:
Newco.ch wants to create an activity tracker with air quality measurement in the wearable IoT space.
Our planBuild creative spaces to stimulate local innovation
A hybrid mix of fablab, creative lab, media lab, nutrition lab, mobile lab and edu lab
Prototyping ideas of any kind
Use the frontier - and work with the network of other spaces - we can’t do everything!
