Get inspired by our vision
Our vision is to create a state-of-the-art work and conference environment – so staff, members, delegates and visitors can meet, network and work in a smart, sustainable, forward-looking and fit for purpose setting. An environment fit for the Union’s mandate to connect the world. Imagine the work environment of the future, including hybrid work, enabled by the ever-more integrated use of technology. A work environment enabling collaboration, partnership, transparency, and diversity to flourish. Help us create a Headquarters of choice!
Where will the new building be situated?
The new building will replace the Varembé building, inaugurated in 1962, facing the iconic Place des Nations at the heart of International Geneva. Just a few hundred meters away, the United Nations is building a new visitor centre. Since 1948, ITU is headquartered in Geneva. While locations and names have evolved, ITU has been at the centre of technology advances since the dawn of the first telegraph network in the 19th century. Read ITU’s history here.
