Who We Are
Giga Connectivity Centre
The Giga Connectivity Centre is located at Campus Biotech – the heart of international Geneva. It is a collaborative space for joint UNICEF/ITU teams to meet, co-create and collaborate as we seek to connect every school in the world to the Internet by 2030.
Launched in June 2025, thanks to the support of the Government of Switzerland, the Connectivity Centre also serves as Giga’s headquarters and home to the Learning Hub, in collaboration with ITU Academy, the main arm of Giga’s capacity development activities. Through training and workshops, the Learning Hub provides the knowledge and skills needed for effective school connectivity planning, from data collection to procurement and financing.
Giga’s annual flagship event, the Giga Connectivity Forum, is held at the Geneva centre, bringing together over 40 country delegations, UN and international finance agencies, academia and connectivity experts to advance universal school connectivity.
With its open and bright setting, the centre is also offered to the Geneva community as the ideal location for learning engagements, partner meetings and showcase demonstrations to strengthen synergies or spark new ones in the field of digital development.

Who We Are
Giga Technology Centre
Located in Barcelona’s vibrant high-tech district, the Giga Technology Centre is a hub of expertise in developing cutting-edge open-source solutions for school connectivity.
The centre is home to a team of over 25 engineers and data scientists who research and create new connectivity tools and services, including geolocation mapping of schools, infrastructure assessment and guidance on policy and regulatory strategies.
The centre is home to the Government Technology Exchange Programme, which gathers technical delegations from governments to learn about Giga’s product suite while the hosts gain insights into each country’s school connectivity goals and challenges. Since opening in late 2023, the centre is also expanding its role as a meeting point for tech community events, inviting a range of people and organizations interested in technological development to come together and exchange ideas.
Thanks to our supporters — the Government of Spain, the Regional Government of Catalonia and the Barcelona City Council — The Giga Tech Centre is housed in the historical Ca l’Alier, a former 19th-century textile factory converted into an innovation space.
Let’s build a connected future together
