About Maker
At Maker, we’re on a mission to empower physical entrepreneurs and create a thriving ecosystem of innovative talent and sustainable product development.
Our state-of-the-art open workshop facilities are the perfect space for members to develop their prototypes, businesses, and ideas. With access to specialized machines, expert advisors, and a curious community, our members have everything they need to succeed.
But that’s just the beginning. We’re also taking our expertise beyond our walls and working on projects across the EU. From Open Source Hardware to Distributed Design, we’re leading the way in transitioning makerspaces to Circular Spaces and developing sustainable practices for recycling materials and local production.
And we’re not just about business. We believe in the power of community as the lever. That’s why we organize Maker Meet-Ups, Community Breakfasts, and festivals throughout Copenhagen. We’re committed to supporting physical entrepreneurs in every way possible, so they can grow and thrive.
Join us at Maker and be a part of something exciting.

Other Makerspaces and Workshop Communities
When you have the idea and the urge to create the product, it can still be difficult to figure out where to go in terms of facilities, machinery and an environment of like-minded people. But luckily there are a lot of cool places all over Denmark.
