Building Foundation for International Organisations

The " Building Foundation for International Organisations " (FIPOI) was set up jointly by the federal and Genevan authorities in 1964, with the purpose of making premises available in Geneva Canton to Intergovernmental Organizations based in Geneva or holding international conferences in the city.

Being a non-profit foundation according to private law, the objective of the FIPOI is to facilitate the establishment of intergovernmental organisations in the canton of Geneva.

Our foundation finances, builds, manages, and maintains buildings provided to intergovernmental organisations with headquarters in Geneva, or wishing to get established in this city.

The FIPOI therefore offers competitive reception facilities to international organisations, and represents the policy of overture intended by the Swiss Government and the authorities of Geneva.

The FIPOI's task is to:

• Lease office accomodation at affordable prices, and maintain such accomodation

• Advise and assist Intergovernemental Organizations on the construction and maintenance premises

• Provide finance on favourable terms for building headquarters for Intergovernemental Organizations

• Find premises or sites for Intergovernemental Organizations wishing to become in Geneva or develop their activities there
