Pier01, located at the Palau de Mar, is a building remodelled as part of the Port Vell reform project, carried out during the great urban transformation of Barcelona at the end of the 1980s. The original building was constructed in 1881 to house the former Almacenes Generales de Comercio. Since 2016 it has been the emblematic headquarters of Tech Barcelona, a building of more than 11,000 square metres that houses startups, corporations, incubators, investors and institutions. A year later, in 2017, it was highlighted by Forbes magazine as one of the five most important innovation hubs in the world.
