It all started in 2014.
Fab Lab Reykjavík is part of Fab Lab Iceland and was opened on January 24, 2014. Fab Lab Reykjavík is a joint project of the City of Reykjavík, Fjölbrautarskólinn í Breiðholt and Nýsköpunarmiðstöð Íslands.
Fab Lab Reykjavík is located in Fjölbrautarskólinn in Breiðholt and is part of Breiðholt's creative community. Through strong collaboration, Fab Lab Reykjavík has grown and now has four full time employees who support the creativity of the city's residents, develop innovative ideas and promote technological literacy.
The goal of Fab Lab Reykjavík is to promote innovation in society. To achieve our goals, we focus on fostering innovation in education, supporting corporate product development and fostering new ideas among people at all levels of society. Fab Lab thus forms a fun creative community with a diverse group of people who have in common that they are curious, solution-oriented and dare to try.
