 Yes, how about now? Okay. Yeah. So thank you very much for having me. Um, my name is, I am a research associate at the Institute of machine tools and factory management here at the technical university in Berlin. And we are also the coordinator of horizon 2020 project called of the next that tries to to develop a collaboration or strategic collaborations between companies and open and open hardware community members to be able to develop and product and services in an open source hardware. So, um, before going ahead and introducing the project or open next itself, I would like to start by a vision that that we all share together here as within the project, which, which is that the future is definitely going to be open and the product creation is not going to happen within company, but it's going to happen within a community setup. So today, uh, the industrial product creation or today, industrial product creation is still very risky. It's expensive. And also it's super, super, uh, not super sustainable. So, um, and this could be a direct consequences of how we develop product and, uh, of how we develop product nowadays. So there is a lot of over engineering, a lot of plant obsolescence and also there is a lot of lack of inclusivity. So still today, uh, development, designing and producing of products is happening behind, um, company walls, it's IP product, uh, product, uh, protected and it's also super far away from, from the main users, um, of this, uh, of those products. So it's developed in the company and the users are, are way far away from the development or the design, uh, process. On the other hand, um, thanks to the open source, uh, movement and also to access to technology users and community members does not want to set and receive products anyway, but they have the capability, the ability and the interest to be to, uh, to actually in the, to actually be part of this developing, um, and, uh, process. So the, the main idea of the product is that, is that now for small and medium sized enterprise, there is a big opportunity to just stop, uh, developing, uh, products and services indoors and moving ahead to, uh, join forces with all the great, uh, community members working there on open source and, and dissolve this company walls and move ahead to, um, a strategic collaboration that will benefit everybody, which is what we call company community collaboration that we, in open next are trying to crystallize. So few words today, um, project itself. So open it's a research project funded under the European Union, research and innovation program as part of horizon 2020 and it's, um, basically covered, uh, covering a cold, cold factories of the future. It's how product and services going to be developed in the future and the project itself bring together, um, 19 different partners from seven European countries. We're talking here research institutes and a university. Plus also, um, a lot of great enterprises, um, um, uh, platform providers and maker, uh, spaces plus SMEs who joined us together to be able to realize this vision of how this collaboration between companies and community could then influence the way we, uh, design, produce and also distribute the, uh, products, um, in the future. The project is three years. It started, uh, in September 2019 and we're continuing now at the final stage of the project moving ahead to November this year. So how we talk about a collaboration between companies and also open source hardware communities, but how is the whole setup then done or how is the whole vision. So the main idea is that we wanted to bring companies from to bring companies and then, uh, support them, unleash the potential of open source hardware, how to do that by working together in product development together with fab labs in community members. So all these three major players here, the companies, the fab lab and the community members community could be community of users of, uh, of, uh, of individuals. Um, and also could be the, um, the community of the company themselves. So we were trying to create what we call an, uh, an open source development ecosystem where those players would come together and then we would look how could this, uh, the development of products happening and how we could facilitate that. So open next is trying to see what are the needed components that needs to be established in order for this to happen. So we are looking into the needed ICT infrastructure for certain collaboration. What kind of business models then would make sense because companies would be scared if we talk about, uh, open source hardware as a way, uh, as a strategic way to make a business, but actually this is possible. So we're looking in researching into business models and facilitating, uh, of that as a viable, uh, as a viable way to produce products and services prototyping facilities, how makerspaces could join in and, um, and help, uh, facilitating a place where this community members and company could come together to do, uh, physical prototypes of these products and services. And then, of course, to support all that going on, there would be other aspects like, for example, uh, collaboration design processes, licensing, uh, the topic of licensing, the topic of documentation as its key for, uh, open source, um, hardware. So the project is set up in a way that we will do this. Um, we'll do what we call action, uh, research. So there would be, uh, um, uh, specific pilot cases, which each makerspace will, uh, in open next has parted with, uh, uh, with, uh, companies and then we created what we called open next clusters. So in four, um, different city within the European Union, a makerspace will, uh, will be, uh, as a hub and then join forces with two, um, different SMEs, the, uh, the scope of open next focus on, uh, consumer electronics, built to order furniture and also, um, um, sustainable mobility. So this cluster itself, the makerspace would help the SMEs define a specific product or service that they want to do together along open next. And we have run six different pilots from, um, um, mid of 2020 until end of 2021 in, uh, Copenhagen with maker in Amsterdam with, uh, uh, as a fab lab and also in Berlin. And just sorry to interrupt, but then I seem to have lost your video and lost my video. Uh, but could you still see my presentation? No, that's quite, uh, problematic. Let me, I will try to, uh, re-share. He's too. How about now? Yes. Yes, you're back. Thank you. Oh, right. Um, sorry for the interruption. And then, um, uh, after those cases were studied and the results were concluded, we have expanded since the beginning of this year by adding another cluster in, in, in Vienna. And the, to validate the findings and, uh, of this phase, we have started in January by inviting new 12 SMEs to join up and next to join up and next four clusters in order to see, um, just to see if all the tools and all the methods that has been developed, uh, can be validated through this phase. So we started now going, uh, from January to June was 12 interesting SMEs that are going on now hard and strong. So in this part of the presentation, I would just also want to talk a bit about what is the type of project that has been developed within each cluster. So starting with the Berlin clusters, the prototypes for, uh, for Europe, who are also with us in, um, in this session has helped two companies. I will start with Sono Motors. Sono Motors is a self, um, charging electric car developed by a German company here in Germany and the main idea they partnered with us because they wanted to work with their own community and personalize those, uh, those cars. So they want community members to come in, uh, and then the design specific personalized item within the car. This was done, um, together with prototypes where an open call was open community members share their design. They were invited to come into Sono Motors to prototypes and six interesting prototypes emerge from, from, uh, from that also prototypes has helped open site, the pocket science lab from open tech, um, uh, to be able to move from, uh, an early product to a product that could be actually commercialized. Um, the three upcoming sessions are going to talk a lot more about how this collaboration with the, with the, with the community member of folks Asia, I would say, um, has, uh, has emerged through the open next and I also be around for, uh, for that moving on to the next cluster. Uh, the back, um, the back society also had two very interesting cases of soda, which is an IOT company who was interested in developing an air quality sensor for the city of Amsterdam, but wanted to do so together with community members. So the collaboration that we're, uh, that, uh, the targeted community of concern. So people who are actually going later to utilize this sensor to come and work together with the fab lab and so that in order to, uh, discuss what kind of, uh, design would be accepted. What kind of a technology would be accepted? And this is key for such a company to be able to move ahead with the development of a sensors that later on is going to be adopted by this community. On the other hand, fiction factory. It's a very interesting SMEs that wanted to join us in, uh, in, in, uh, in open next to be able to utilize open source, uh, to be able to utilize open source in order to find a sustainable way to deal with their CNC with machinery. So they wanted to work together with the community and develop open source hardware, uh, different products that could be actually generated or developed out of this waste material and vast society help, uh, moving ahead with that. Moving to the Copenhagen, uh, cluster maker also had quite an interesting collaboration with, um, with X, Y, Z cargo and sticker. I will share some of the findings. So sticker is a bill to order furniture company who actually who is committed to the open source movement and believe that open source is not, um, is not scary. It's actually the way they want to do, uh, business and within open next day, uh, they worked at the last desk, which is, um, uh, designed for this assembly desk and they wanted their community member to design blockings and be able to make modular designs out of your desk. So you get all the documentations of the desk and then you move ahead, uh, as a designer by, by actually talking about how could you, what, what, what, what are your needs and then design your own log ins. They opened this call. They are so committed to the open source. They have their own, uh, platform, uh, for open development with it, with their community of designers. And then they openly shared the designs with them and then also moving ahead. Uh, a lot of designs, uh, they, they, they did a design competition. A lot of, a lot of designs came in and they took it to the next level. Um, and having prototyping sessions within the company, but also within the, uh, the maker spaces. So specific. The community members were invited in to be able to realize the designs that they want. And then eventually there was a scheme of how could this design then be featured in their website. And how could then the community benefit from specific revenue streams, streams for the design that would, uh, would be sold. Uh, the other interesting case was from XYZ cargo, which is, um, cargo bikes that the company wanted to develop add ons to just have different features and different functions for this cargo by cargo bikes. The company is based in Hamburg. They, uh, wanted to be able to just, um, uh, create a community of designer and develop and be fully committed to open source hardware when it comes to the design of add ons. The way the collaboration went is through an open call. They received 70 different, uh, uh, inputs regarding, um, designs contribution. And then this was moved from an online, uh, collaboration with the community to a real life collaborations where one to one meetings has happened until, um, specific, uh, designs were selected for further, um, for further, um, prototyping. So now, uh, so during the open next there, there would be an add-on that will add to the bike, uh, that shapes a workshop, uh, bike and also a food bike and also a music, um, uh, kind of, uh, bike. The most interesting part of, uh, of, um, of, um, XYZ cargo is that from the very beginning they believed in, um, in, in, in the open source movement and also they believe that there should be a payback, a way to pay back the contributor, the contributors of, uh, the contributors from the community members and a lot of discussions went into what would be the best way to also, uh, payback not only, um, once, but instantly as this design would be, um, moved forward. So we consider it also a very, very interesting, um, case. Um, as of the, of these cases has happened, the makerspaces gain more competence and we moved ahead by bringing along 12 new SMEs that started also on their own individual, uh, projects from January and they are continuing on a lot of interesting cases who are, um, looking into, um, uh, build to order furniture. Also, uh, interesting community members like one of the cases is, uh, developing or trying to, uh, develop, um, a device for blind and visually impaired people to just also, uh, on a bigger mission to bring them into makerspaces, developing and 3D printing their own, um, uh, their own device. A lot of interesting projects in the direction of, uh, refrigeration, um, for in remote areas. This is also taking place in, uh, in maker. Uh, we are also, um, making, um, an event in the end of June, um, that will demonstrate all the 18 cases, including the 12 new cases that are taking place now. And, um, the project will continue. All the, um, the findings, the tools are going to be documented as part of the book that will be, um, uh, published later. We're also trying to, uh, to established, um, um, to established, uh, a way for makerspaces to come together to learn from this experience so that they could be open source developing, um, labs and could help further SMEs. Uh, take the steps and, uh, join, um, the, uh, see the opportunity in, uh, collaborating together with community members and benefiting, uh, from, um, and, and, and actually contributing and benefiting from the open source, uh, movement to know more about us, uh, check out website. Also at our project hub at our partners, um, uh, website, our, uh, our partners platform, wiki factory, and, uh, we will be publishing information soon about our demonstration day end of June, um, in Berlin. And I hope that you could also join us there. Thank you very much and open for.
