More hereOne of the most important things about hackerspaces, and an area that differentiates it from other areas in the tech industry, is that most of the ideas and projects aren’t designed for any type of financial return. And unlike academic research labs, hackerspaces are usually very hands-on and focused on practical implementation. In Tokyo Hackerspace, we have a lot of projects or project ideas that revolve around environmental or humanitarian applications of technology as well as art. These types of projects would rarely see the light of day in corporate scenarios (without government subisidies) but are often the types of projects that, when further refined, may turn into something that is financially viable or lay the groundwork for something much bigger.

this type of physical space is definitely one that needs our consideration. I also put a post on my blog about this topic: allisaur.us. what are the right tools to invest in to get us through the door? (I saw your post a few months ago about 3D printers, that might be an excellent direction...)
