The Machines Italia USA Desk in Chicago arranged the fifth Italian participation at the 2017 Makers Fair. The event, which took place in New York City September 23-24 was open to both trade professionals and the public at large. This year’s major theme was additive manufacturing and 3D printing technologies, advanced manufacturing, robotics, education, research & science. The 2017 Makers Fair stretched across four halls and attracted more than 100,000 visitors and 900 makers.
 
The Italian Trade Agency and Machines Italia participated in the fair to provide assistance to Italian and local companies, researchers and innovators and to enhance Italy’s visibility and contribution to the world of manufacturing. This year’s Italian Makers Pavilion featured 15 of Italy’s leading makers. On the 25th, the Agency hosted its participating makers for a briefing at its New York Offices on how to do business in the US, followed by a visit to one of the leading FabLabs in New York within the Marymount School.
