History

2022: Opening co-working space for hardware startups

At the end of September 2022, the opening of the technological co-working space for MegaHackspace engineers took place. He is located in the Skolkovo technopark.

The total coworking area is 1200 m2. The space is designed for 80 people with individual jobs. More than 40 types of manual and electrical devices are available on the site for engineers, workshops and workshops with professional equipment and machines, 3D printing, painting and electronics areas.

Coworking opened in Skolkovo

All equipment is equipped with QR codes and works according to the principle of sharing: specialists will be able to use the necessary tools only after training and knowledge testing. CCPs (collective use centers) are also available, which provide services for welding, metalworking, 3D printing and 3D prototyping.

One of the suppliers of equipment for MegaHackspace was InKata, whose engineers provide development and prototyping of new products. Additional resources allow you to get the first prototype in a short time, save on equipment and draw up a plan for product improvements. Another supplier was Top 3D Shop, which provided scanners and printers for 3D printing.

According to Igor Drozdov, Chairman of the Board of the Skolkovo Foundation, MegaHackspace was in demand: at the time of the start of coworking, 75% of the space was already pre-ordered. The Moscow government helped in the creation of MegaHackspace by allocating 75 million rubles, but in addition, private investments were also attracted, he said.

The Technopark opened in 2017. From the first days, we thought how to fill it with something useful and necessary for residents to choose us. The idea came to create a space that would turn out to be small, but at the same time very popular. We knew the exact list that we needed, those technological processes that need to be made available to residents, "said Renat Batyrov, General Director of the Skolkovo Technopark.^[1]
