Abstract

If FabLab (Fabrication Laboratory) is nowadays a huge phenomenon their performance based on their socio-economic embeddedness is still an open research question. From an original world database (N=48), we show that production of documented projects and transformation of those projects into new company is a function of interactions between FabLab and its innovative eco-system. In particular, everything remains equal, interactions with peripheral and explorative actors lead to higher level of creativity and documented projects. New company creation appears to be significantly higher when FabLab is an intermediary platform or a middleground between these peripheral actors and a core of bigger companies more oriented in exploitation and seeming harvesting FabLab’s creativity.
