ELHOUSSAMY, Nagham  y  RIZK, Nagla. Innovation Practices at Makerspaces in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco. AJIC [online]. 2020, vol.26, pp.1-25. ISSN 2077-7213.  http://dx.doi.org/10.23962/10539/30357.

This article sets out findings from research exploring approaches to innovation at makerspaces in Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco. Based on interviews with individuals involved in makerspaces in each country-seven spaces in Egypt, two in Tunisia, and one in Morocco-we provide findings on the origins and general characteristics of the spaces, as well as findings on five core themes that emerged from the interviews: knowledge-sharing; innovation and product development; openness, collaboration, and innovation ownership; attitudes towards intellectual property (IP); and scaling.

Palabras clave : maker movement; innovation; entrepreneurship; knowledge-sharing learning; skills development; innovation ownership; intellectual property (IP); scaling; Egypt; Tunisia; Morocco.
