Our community in action
Bringing together innovators, researchers, and neighbors to build something good for everyone.
The things we work on
From our lab in Puerto Rico, we work on a handful of big projects that help feed people, protect nature, and bring technology to our communities.
With NASA
AgroBrain
Smart growing containers packed with AI, sensors, and robotic arms. We're learning how to grow food in space, even on the Space Station.
With T-Mobile
5G Innovation Lab
A 41,000 square foot lab running on superfast 5G, where we test ideas for smarter farms and smarter cities.
For our community
3D Manufacturing
More than 17 industrial printers making prosthetics, coral homes, and protective gear that reached 58 hospitals when they needed it.
Always on
Data Infrastructure
A 500 Gbps fiber backbone that safeguards the Arecibo Observatory's data and keeps Microsoft, Netflix, and Meta running close to home.
Our story so far
A look back at the moments that shaped who we are and where we're headed.
2017
How it all started
We opened our first smart cities lab in Bayamón with a $560K grant, making it Puerto Rico's first smart city.
2020
Showing up for COVID
When the pandemic hit, we turned our 3D printers around to make protective gear for 58 hospitals and 48 clinics.
2021
Saving Arecibo's data
We raced to rescue petabytes of irreplaceable astronomy data from the Arecibo Observatory after it collapsed.
2023
Going official
We became an official nonprofit and kicked off AgroBrain, our space farming project with NASA.
2024
Growing our reach
We teamed up with Collins Aerospace for aerospace education and hit 12,000 corals replanted.
Next
What's coming
Our Puerto Rico AI Research Institute, an 11,000 square foot center with its own GPU clusters.
Our home in Bayamón
Our headquarters is one of the Caribbean's leading tech hubs. It's where we host global companies and help our local economy grow.

Serious infrastructure
A 500 Gbps fiber backbone with a dedicated 100 Gbps line, hosting Microsoft, Netflix, and Meta servers right here on site.
Global companies, right here
Four global tech companies keep their servers with us, with direct access to some of the fastest connections around.
Learning together
We team up with UPR, Purdue, Mech-Tech, and Interamerican University on hands-on programs for students.
Bringing reefs back
We lead coral restoration off Culebra, with more than 12,000 biodegradable coral units already in the water.
What we're up to lately
A few of the things we've been working on and the wins we're proud of.
