The Nod Makerspace ecosystem is located in an old cotton factory in the city of Bucharest, Romania. The multifunctional industrial hall accommodates designers, artists, engineers, inventors, freelancers and entrepreneurs to meet, discuss and create together. 2200 sqm of former abandoned factory were turned into 21 studios, a fab-lab and a co-working facility, offering workshops with tools and machinery for a wide range of crafts. It supports small entrepreneurs in the creative industries to prototype and market their ideas. It is also home to the first and only materials library in South-East Europe, which contains over 2500 samples of material and aims to educate about types of materials and their uses. Furthermore, the building accommodates spaces for meetings, debates and civic engagement and is home to a restaurant and a rooftop bar. NOD Makerspace has been developed with the support of small entrepreneurs sponsored by large companies and providers. Currently, it has 150 members and is home to over 40 start-ups in a wide range of creative industries!
