Lift France 2013: "Occupy Industry!"

Can we respond to our economic and ecologic crises by changing the way we produce and use things, and perhaps what we produce? New design and manufacturing techniques... New ways of managing product lifecycles... New roles for "consumers"... New innovation models... New visions of what should be produced, why, and by whom...

Through the Makers/Fab Labs movement, "cradle to cradle", collaborative models, "open source hardware", additive manufacturing, and many other potential disruptions, something is trying to change in industry and especially manufacturing. This edition of Lift will gather those who envision how production could transform itself, and those who are actively making it happen!
