About Us
Growing Guernsey’s digital and creative sectors, in collaboration with business, government and the community.
Dedicated Innovation Hub
The Digital Greenhouse has been established by the States of Guernsey to act as a focal point for the growth of the digital and creative sector. It is designed to support effective collaboration, co-working, networking and learning to enable successful innovation to thrive in Guernsey. The facilities are open to anyone in industry, government and those in the community with an interest in the digital and creative sectors.
We undertake work in the following four key areas;
Supporting the Digital Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
Our co-working space is here to help accelerate start-up and growth activity in Guernsey’s digital and creative sectors. Entrepreneurs can sit down, connect to the internet and work on their business ideas. This space is conducive to the exchange of ideas, mutual support, and new opportunities to collaborate on projects.
Working together with Eagle Labs Guernsey, we are pleased to be providing a launch pad for new or fledgling business ventures, through accelerator programmes and networking events. Activities include bootcamps, mentor support and expert sessions, to accelerate from business idea to reality!

Digital Innovators sponsored by First Central Group
The Digital Greenhouse is extremely pleased to be working with First Central Group to deliver Guernsey's Digital Innovators programme. The programme, now in its second year, is designed to deliver a range of exciting opportunities for young people to engage with digital technologies. Working with the expert team from First Central, students are able to get involved in hackathons, workshops and events to develop their skills through real hands-on learning. Following a successful pilot in 2018, the focus of this partnership is to provide a series of events to allow students to develop their digital skills as well as the soft skills required for working in the sector.
John Davison, Chief Information Officer at First Central, said: "The technology and creative sectors are fast becoming local industries to watch, and the career opportunities on the island are more exciting and diverse than they've ever been before. The Digital Innovators programme is designed to help young people apply creative thought practically and develop the skills required for our evolving digital economy."
Reaching over 140 young people in the first year of operation, the Digital Innovators programme continues to have a positive impact on young people's skills, aspirations and enthusiasm for working in the technology sector. Find out about upcoming events for under 21s through the links below.
