Our flagship makerspace in the heart of Owerri, featuring state-of-the-art equipment for digital fabrication, electronics, woodworking, and metalworking. The space is designed to foster collaboration and innovation among makers of all skill levels.
Established in 2018, the Owerri Innovation Hub was our first makerspace and remains our largest facility. Located in Irete, the space serves a diverse community of entrepreneurs, artists, engineers, students, and hobbyists.
The 5000 square foot facility is divided into specialized zones for different types of making, including a clean area for electronics, a woodshop, metalworking area, digital fabrication lab, and collaborative workspace. Our mission is to provide access to tools and knowledge that empower people to create solutions to local challenges.
Beyond equipment access, we offer regular workshops, mentorship programs, and networking events to help members develop both technical and entrepreneurial skills.
