- Abstract
Considering fablabs in the Walloon Region, we are trying to approach the reality of these open places aimed at promoting creativity and innovation. The central research question of this analysis focused, beyond organizational routines, on any induced entrepreneurial value creation processes. Can fablabs be considered as places favorisating the creation of new economic entities? To which extent and in what way do fablabs follow up the people who pass through their services? Based on semi-structured interviews carried out with the heads of these structures, it emerges that fablabs do not necessarily fit into a logic of business creation and remain in a perspective of support with a very technological orientation. Although this result may raise questions and give rise to many debates, the fact remains that these structures should be backed up by other bodies for which the entrepreneurial intention is more present.
