The thirteenth edition of Maker Faire Rome ran from 17 to 19 October 2025 at Rome’s Gazometro in the Ostiense district. A symbol of the transformation from industrial area into a hub for innovation and culture, the reconfirmation of the Gazometro as the venue was part of a shared development plan designed to host people, ideas and technologies, thanks to key initiatives such as Joule, Eni’s business school, the ROAD – Rome Advanced District, and the Eni2050Lab technology hub.
Human ingenuity powers progress; it bridges technological innovation and the safeguarding of the environment. This vision took shape in “The Energy Brain”, an interactive, immersive experience where visitors could explore Eni’s flagship initiatives and projects, including high-performance computing with the HPC6 supercomputer and projects related to magnetic confinement nuclear fusion. An engaging format designed to blend play and knowledge sharing, bringing audiences closer to energy themes and to the value of scientific and technological research.
The Gazometro and the surrounding area host workshops, institutional events and initiatives open to the public
FIND OUT MOREMaker Faire Rome is a premier hub that brings together a vast community of innovators. Participants include makers, creatives, start-ups, companies, researchers, universities and schools from across Europe, who meet to share their discoveries and creations. The event’s primary objective is to promote innovation and the dissemination of digital culture, making technology accessible to a broad and diverse audience.
This year, the event presented three major thematic areas for visitors: Innovation, Creativity and Discovery. These areas were devised to admire and “get hands-on with” hundreds of projects, ranging from digital manufacturing to the Internet of Things, from robotics to artificial intelligence, from the circular economy to agritech, big data and digital manufacturing, up to the latest breakthroughs in the Metaverse and augmented reality. With our presence in this innovative environment, we wanted to show how our technologies can contribute to the energy transition, celebrating innovation as an approach capable of opening new perspectives and multiplying possibilities for the future.
