FabLab Klein-Brabant was founded by 5 people in the region of Klein-Brabant (Bornem-Puurs & Sint-Amands). It’s located in the triangle between Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent and can reached easily by approximately 30000 people within a 10 minute drive. FabLab Klein-Brabant is quite unique in the sense that it doesn’t depend on funding from any educational or governmental institution (meaning that it can easily make it’s own choises without the need of approval of several different parties).
