The Low-tech Lab

Everywhere in the world, ingenious inventors innovate with what they have at hand and develop solutions to answer to vital, economic or environmental problems.

These solutions are low-technologies: systems that are simple, sustainable and accessible in terms of costs and know-how.

The Low-tech can be useful to millions of people. It deserves to be shared.
