What We Do

We inform and empower makers, engineers, manufacturers, local organizers, experts, and institutions around the world working in their communities to meet supply challenges stemming from global crises.

We provide high-quality information, platforms for collaboration, and strategic support to globally-distributed local groups to facilitate rapid and effective mobilization.

We identify and collaborate closely with well-aligned strategic partners so that members of our community have a diverse ecosystem of support for their efforts.
