The Bergisch City-Triangle: Germany’s First FAB Region in the Making The CSCP is collaborating on a project to establish the Bergisch city-triangle as Germany’s first FAB Region. This will position the region in the Fab City network as one of more than 50 cities and regions worldwide committed to bringing production back to the local level while strengthening sustainability, circularity, and open-source knowledge sharing. A few months after its launch, the FAB Region Bergisch city-triangle project (FAB Region Bergisches Städtedreieck), a pioneering initiative aimed at contributing to a sustainable and circular economic transformation within the cities of Wuppertal, Remscheid, and Solingen, has reached its first important milestones. The project partners have focused on fine-tuning upcoming activities and intended outcomes, with a particular focus on the three pilot cities at the heart of the project. Working with local innovation centres in the three cities – Gut Einern in Wuppertal, the Gründerschmiede in Remscheid, and the Gläserne Werkstatt in Solingen – the project brings together actors from the civil society, businesses, science, and politics to promote local, community-oriented production and sustainable development. The innovation centres have different points of focus, ranging from supporting start-ups and entrepreneurs to working with craftspeople or students and civil society. The project has recently launched its official website, which serves as a central hub for all project-related information and activities. Website visitors can download the first press release, sign up for social media channels, and keep up to date with upcoming events and engage in their respective cities. The three-year EU-funded project aims to establish the region as Germany’s first FAB Region, thus joining the cities of Hamburg and Augsburg in the international network. 52 cities worldwide, from Paris to Mexico City, are already using the FAB City framework to bring production back to the local level and shape sustainable urban transformation using circular economy approaches – all while sharing knowledge, skills and technology in an open-source way. Through the FAB Region project, partners will co-create strategies, learning formats and pilot programmes to bring production back to the bioregional context, strengthening local economies, increasing resilience and fostering ecological and social sustainability.
