MakerBay Information

MakerBay is Hong Kong’s first full-scale MakerSpace that empowers artists, designers, engineers and scientists to work together on meaningful creative projects with social and environmental impact. In a 100 years, the Pearl River Delta has grown from a few fishing villages to a global megapolis, with an expected 60 million citizens by 2030. This rapid population increase and industrialisation has led to tremendous economic growth but also damaging social structures and the environment with air pollution, water pollution and food contamination. That damage is accelerating and spreading to all developing nations, particularly in Southeast Asia. Since the Industrial Revolution, technology has been synonymous with controlling and destroying nature. We must change the nature of technology so human activities enrich and protect nature. Hong Kong has the freedom of the West and the power of the East. It is the place where issues and opportunities meet. We must be bold and build a space where art can be technical, where science can be creative. Space, tools, community for social and environmental impact: Makerbay.
