Visit to Ca L’Alier
Ca l’Alier is a former mid-19th-century textile factory transformed into an urban innovation platform in Barcelona. It exemplifies the repurposing of industrial heritage for new uses and international public-private collaboration. Ca l’Alier is also a benchmark for sustainable industrial architecture. We invite you to visit this vibrant new center for multicultural technological innovation and discover firsthand the three institutions that use the space:
The Barcelona Institute of Technology Habitat Foundation (BIT Habitat), whose objective is to promote urban innovation and smart technology in various fields with an ethical, sustainable, and responsible use of data and technology.
The Cisco Innovation Center in Barcelona, which is committed to transforming global strategies into local innovations, linking cutting-edge technologies with real-world solutions. It leads the adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cybersecurity, and sustainability by conducting proof-of-concept projects. In addition, Ca l’Alier houses a Cisco next-generation chip design center.
The Giga Technology Centre in Barcelona. Giga is an ITU and UNICEF initiative to connect all schools worldwide to the internet. The Giga Technology Centre in Barcelona is the research and development hub for cutting-edge, open-source technology products and services to help governments plan, deploy, and maintain school connectivity.
