E-Horizon Project
Faire: Rome
Maker: Ass.ne Italiana Makers Automotive
E-Horizon Project is a project that encourages young people to be creative and take control of their future. Starting from a "Crazy Idea", the project has created a community of young motor enthusiasts with a common dream: to become part of the world of world motorsports. Through the new technologies of industry 4.0, all high school students, willing to test themselves and learn, can express their creativity and their technical knowledge, creating models of racing cars in 1:10 scale through the use of CAD software, 3D printing, microcontroller programming. Eventually they can compete with other makers, competing with the cars they create.
The project includes different categories of cars to be built:
- MKRS: Formula 1-style cars, electrically powered, designed and driven by school kids
- Hypercar: project similar to MKRS but with cars with covered wheels
- Driverless: self-driving Hypercar-style cars.
At Maker Faire Rome we will bring the 2023 prototypes of the various projects plus other models we have previously made and we will hold small shows to show the capabilities of our cars and the potential of our project.

These are not mere jewels but little artist's books to wear: each one tells a story inspired by art, myths, legends or the personal and childhood memories of Marcella Stilo, founder and artisan of the brand.
Mylîne Cave, fine woodworking and marquetry artist
Faire: Rome
Maker: Mylîne Cave
Imagine that you could create any image, drawing, illustration, or custom board game with wood veneers as thin as lace! This art is called "marquetry", has existed for hundreds of years, and is not highlighted enough. I created my own marquetry techniques for 2 years after my training at the fine woodworking school of Montreal. I am inspired by Art Nouveau, the movement, the Feminine and the Sacred. I explore alternative fields like creating an Ex-Libris Tarot deck or pregnancy ultrasounds in marquetry. I am also making furniture restoration, high-end upcycling and one-of-a-kind creations.
One Health Lab
Faire: Rome
Maker: Università di Siena
The bioeconomy is not only the set of activities of food, bio-energy, and bio-materials production, but
includes all activities that transform biological resources into other products. In many cases, as in the
forestry sector and in many areas of biomaterial production activities, no processes are involved
biotechnological but biophysical or biochemical, which makes the technical and scientific skills of the Laboratory
absolutely suited to this time of crucial transition, accepting the challenge of integrating the
bioeconomy and the circular economy into a new concept known as the circular bioeconomy. The Demonstrator
to be implemented by the Macronode@UNISI ensures the marriage of innovation (generation of know-
how), quality and sustainability in a multidisciplinary and multiproduct vision (use of know-how)
proposing and using green and bio-based solutions: a model that aims at real circularity, a unicum
in the eco-sustainable life sciences sector nationally and internationally. The experimental laboratory
will be organized as a Bioeconomy Innovation Lab with the aim of creating a platform for the
development of products derived from a waste, capable of making the process of formulating a new
product and put it on the market, connecting the raw material and subcontractor industries, as well as offering the
ability to carry out quality control testing, stability, material studies and realization of product
prototypes.
MEME electric mobility for an eco-sustainable Messina
Faire: Rome
Maker: IIS Verona Trento di Messina
IIS Verona Trento is the promoter of a project focused on sustainable mobility. Using recycled materials, the students developed an electric vehicle prototype powered by innovative batteries and equipped with prototype automation systems.

Dotzero
Faire: Rome
Maker: 0. srl
Dotzero is a Tuscan sneaker startup that is revolutionizing the footwear industry through upcycling and sustainable innovation. Dotzero's mission is to create shoes that are not only high-quality and visually appealing, but also environmentally responsible. By using materials sourced from waste and production excess, Dotzero transforms these resources into new sneakers, thus reducing the environmental impact of footwear production.
What sets Dotzero apart is its approach to the infinite recyclability of its shoes. Once a Dotzero shoe reaches the end of its lifecycle, customers can return it to the company through a take-back and recycling program. The shoes are then disassembled, and the materials are recovered and reintegrated into the production process, minimizing waste and promoting a circular economy.
Dotzero also commits to using cutting-edge technologies, such as blockchain, to ensure the traceability and certification of its productions. Through the use of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), each pair of Dotzero sneakers is registered on a public blockchain, providing consumers with the assurance of authenticity and the sustainable origin of the materials used.
Dotzero serves as a benchmark for the sustainable footwear industry, demonstrating that it is possible to combine style, quality, and environmental respect. With their innovation and commitment, Dotzero is redefining the concept of sneakers, paving the way for a more sustainable future for the fashion industry.
