Eni and Maker Faire Rome: twelve years of collaboration

Gazometro Rome

A partnership that has grown with time

Since 2014, we have been a partner of Maker Faire Rome – The European Edition (MFR), which made its debut in 2013. From the start, we believed in an initiative that enables anyone with a good idea, whether a professional or a student, to present and share it at this dedicated event. Since then, we have continued to take part, because in this event we have always seen the most spontaneous and surprising face of innovation.

 

Our support has evolved and expanded over the years involving academics, researchers, innovators and start-ups that contribute to advances in scientific and technological research. Maker Faire Rome is indeed a place for the contamination and dissemination of brilliant projects that can come from grassroots and external sources alike: the true strength of change lies in the creativity and ideas of all the protagonists of innovation.

 

Through present and future challenges and new opportunities to seize, we have evolved across the twelve editions of Maker Faire Rome, reaching in recent years the decision to host it directly in one of Rome’s historic industrial areas: the Gazometro Ostiense, which we have meanwhile transformed into a hub of innovation and professional training in the heart of the capital.

In 2025 Maker Faire Rome returns to the Gazometro

Eni is participating for the twelfth consecutive year as main partner of Maker Faire Rome – The European Edition, hosted in the spaces of the Gazometro Ostiense, now the heart of innovation in Rome. Through initiatives such as Joule, ROAD and Eni2050Lab, the company showcases its commitment to research and technological development.

With the interactive experience “The Energy Brain”, visitors can explore cutting-edge projects such as the HPC6 supercomputer and its activities in magnetic confinement nuclear fusion, on a journey combining scientific outreach and entertainment to illustrate Eni’s role in the energy transition.

The Gazometro in Rome Ostiense. From industrial archaeology to innovation hub

The Gazometro, a former urban industrial site, was restored by Eni through various redevelopment efforts that began in 2017 and were completed in 2023. Now recognised as the largest innovation district in the city, the Gazometro ROAD - Rome Advanced District exudes an atmosphere of creativity, blending art, industry, and technology. In this open-air lab, technologies and groundbreaking projects are developed, tested, and brought to life by specialised talents and dedicated centres.
