For many years, the maker movement has been a point of interest in various environments due to its immense potential to disseminate knowledge and enhance activities in the spirit of do-it-yourself and do-it-together, particularly directed at entrepreneurial development [van Holm, (2014; 2015) and World Conference on Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences (2015)]. A significant element of the maker movement is the makerspace (MS), which provides users, known as makers, with access to shared tools and workspace. Although MS predominantly appears in urban areas, the results of in-depth studies carried out in Poland indicate the growth of makerspaces in peripheral regions, reflected by the presence of seven active MS in rural areas and small to medium-sized cities. The conducted literature review shows the scarcity of studies related to the various roles performed by makerspaces, with an emphasis on their value in social well-being and impact on social aspects [Kraus et al., Journal of Innovation & Knowledge (2022)]. Therefore, this chapter specifically endeavors to address this gap, broadening it to include economic aspects, focusing on the example of Polish makerspaces that have been developed in peripheral areas. Following the state of research in the field, the author’s main objective is to determine how peripheral MS affect the socio-economic sphere in areas of their presence at the individual user, local and regional levels. Analysis to answer the indicated question was developed through desk research and in-depth interviews with representatives of makerspaces. The research discussed in the chapter indicates that makerspaces influence all the indicated levels, while expanding their scope of influence beyond national borders. In addition, they can set directions for both local and nationwide cooperation of urban-rural makerspace networks located in Poland, to the development of which the Orange Foundation’s activities contribute. The innovation of the Polish MS is also manifested in the development of mobiPAKT, which, through their activities, increase accessibility to specialized knowledge in hard-to-reach areas, which offers significant potential in providing access to modern education to residents of peripheral areas, thus supporting their educational processes and creating new opportunities for individuals. In-depth interviews indicate a strong increase in knowledge in STEM fields among the youngest users, increasing their potential to develop competence, build confidence, and expand their knowledge.
