OPENNEXT aimed to create partnerships between companies and consumers that focused on eco-friendly transportation, consumer electronics, and customizable furniture. The project aimed to promote new business models and collaborative software solutions that enabled co-design and co-manufacturing of products.
In 2021, Maker collaborated with Stykka and XYZ Cargo to develop innovative products that exemplified the project’s values of open approach, design, and local production, while also advancing the concept of traditional business practices.
