Let’s chat off the thread Christian, I coach / mentor businesses (startups and early stage) so I work closely with creating business models for them, in addition to being the cofounder of KC Open Hardware and a founding OSHWA member, I may be able to help.

Everyone,

With Danish Design Centre we're booting a new program titled Future Fabrication (see details below) and for that we're looking for experts and explorers of the field of open source business models (around hardware and/or other fields). Any tips for good people to talk to?

Thanks,
Christian

FUTURE FABRICATION
The Danish Design Centre is currently developing a new program titled “Future Fabrication” which will run from 2016-2018.

Here we wish to explore currents in the technological development and in “maker-culture” which we believe have the potential to transform and enrich production and manufacturing. Through open dialogue with our networks we wish to understand and strengthen design’s role in the era of advanced manufacturing technology.  For the scoping of the program we have identified 4 thematic focus areas, of which one of them is the development of business models based on open-source methodologies:

How can we create sustainable business models based on open-source principles?

Maker culture is driven by knowledge sharing and, as a result, new economies and business models are being based on open source principles. We want to investigate ways to overcome challenges in IP-driven business as well as to explore open business development of the sharing economy. New business models pave the way for new exciting opportunities as well as address the severe challenges of bridging the gaps in global knowledge and resource inequality.
