Funding/Sponsors

Fritzing is a research project that was made possible through long-term funding from MWFK Brandenburg (Ministry of Science, Research and Culture in the state of Brandenburg), based on a grant application by Prof. Reto Wettach.
Further support was provided through the Faculty of Media at Bauhaus-University Weimar, and through IxDS Interaction Design Studios.

We are also excited to have received a first donation from an anonymous supporter, who is "helping to make hardware become software".
If you would like to support us, too, please get in touch with us!
