A full-fibre broadband provider, Giganet’s mission is to challenge the status quo and connect people to a future-proofed network. To achieve this, they are building a new, modern, nationwide fibre optic network that will provide people with the fastest, most reliable broadband speeds.

However, investment is crucial for fibre infrastructure businesses to grow and scale.

Our Octopus sustainable infrastructure team invests in the next generation of economically and socially critical infrastructure companies.
