LOCATION
Where modernism meets technology
In 2026, OrbitHub opens its first innovation cluster in the industrial precinct of Colonia Güell — a former textile factory founded in 1890 by industrialist Eusebi Güell that once stood as a pillar of Barcelona's growth and prosperity. Renowned for its rich Modernist architecture, originally envisioned by Antoni Gaudí, this site is now the stage for a new high-tech era.
The Industrial Heritage of Colonia Güell
The industrial precinct of Colonia Güell is a historic textile factory complex located on the outskirts of Barcelona. Conceived to integrate industry with innovation, it exemplified the vision for industrial colonies in Catalonia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Renowned for its Modernist architecture, it remains a symbol of industrial heritage and visionary planning.
OrbitHub – Recinte Industrial Colonia Güell
Discover OrbitHub's innovation cluster – a hub of high-tech laboratories, offices and services – located in the historic industrial precinct of Colonia Güell. The campus is fully enclosed, with video surveillance and a security gatehouse at the entrance. Just 30 minutes from Barcelona’s city center by public transport.
