MIT FabLab Norway er en avdeling av MIT – Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Center for Bits and Atoms.

I Nord-Norge, og særlig i distriktene, har det tradisjonelt vært lite innslag av mennesker fra andre deler av verden.

Gjennom FabLab-nettverket har også vi blitt gjenstand for en betydelig internasjonalisering. Respekt og toleranse vil være viktige nøkkelord i vårt verdensomspennende nettverk. Vi skal gjennom denne tilgangen få de fremste ekspertene hvor de enn måtte befinne seg, gi tilbud til Nord-Norge innen utdanning, forskning, utvikling og kommersialisering.
