1. Maker Faire Shenzhen: Maker Summit Forum
A gathering of industry leaders to explore how technology can help us achieve sustainable development
Sustainable Development is now one of the mainstream values of our world today. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at its core has been adopted by all UN members since 2015, while individuals, organizations, and corporations have also been exploring paths for sustainable development in their respective scopes.
This year, the Maker Summit Forum will focus on sustainability in different aspects related to the maker community. We will be inviting speakers from different sectors, cultures, and professional backgrounds to share their projects, stories and insights in sustainable development. Through this forum, we hope to promote a broader understanding of sustainable development and lead to collective actions eventually.

2. Maker Faire Shenzhen: Maker Booths
Showcasing innovative applications in the community and industry
The Exhibition (includes various highlights and performances) is one of the main highlights of Maker Faire Shenzhen. Since its inception in 2012, it has attracted more than 1,500 innovative individuals, teams and corporate exhibitors from around 30 countries and regions around the world. For MFSZ 2019. we have a stunning total of 108 booths, with exhibitors from Japan, India, the United States, Nepal, Canada, Australia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Also, we have categorised the different projects into their target industries, as well as which of the 17 sustainable development goals they aim to solve. Through the breakdown of the projects into different categories, we hope that it will be easier for visitors to look for the projects and programs that they are interested in.
Among the various exhibitors, individual exhibitors have a tiny advantage. But overall, the number of individual, team and corporate exhibitors are still relatively equal.
The different projects, programs and products that will be showcased in the exhibition can work/are working with sectors/industries such as education, entertainment, toys, manufacturing, consumer electronics, daily life and real estate etc.
In 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was unanimously adopted by all UN member states and confirmed the adoption of 17 sustainable development goals. As a result, a growing number of individuals, enterprises and organisations are now exploring ways to use technology to achieve the sustainable development goals.
