Innovation is everywhere, so why not here in our corner of the world?
With a dozen collaborative innovation labs including a fully equipped fablab, coworking space and woodlab there is something for everyone.

They're talking about us
Coworking space, Wood lab & Fab lab, Pangloss Labs is a real innovation pole labeled on October 22, 2020 as “Fabrique de Territoire”.
These Fabriques are places that produce social utility in a whole region!
Great association! I used several of their services like 3D Scanning and prototyping. Plus I met really interesting people.
Wonderful space full of great people and amazing equipment. We need more places like this!
A friendly, dynamic and attentive team for your business creation. Several spaces at your disposal: a spacious and fully equipped coworking as well as a FabLab and a WoodLab for the creation of many projects. I recommend 🙂
I discovered Pangloss because I wanted to learn laser cutting. I gained confidence in the use of the machine thanks to the Fablab team, and launched myself into the adventure of micro-business, of which laser cutting is my main tool. I was able to meet the members of Pangloss and share my ideas with them, the coworking space is a great place for that! Don’t hesitate to participate to an Open Doors to discover the different spaces (fablab, coworking and woodlab) and meet the members 🙂
A super interesting and dynamic place, very nice moments at aperitifs, stimulating events!
Very good coworking space in the Pays de Gex. I discovered this space when I started my business, great atmosphere to start your activity in a friendly environment.
The Coworking space is friendly, warm and professional, it’s nice to plug in your computer to work. Nice meetings during the breakfast that the team organizes every month
The best way to keep your 3D printer working is to be part of a community of makers surrounded by people who can help you improve and repair it.
