“A mind ahead of his time”

Ricardo Valle was a Malaga-born telecommunications engineer and electromagnetism expert who trained in Madrid and founded the Higher Technical School of Telecommunications of Barcelona.

He was a mind ahead of his time, who had the vision of articulating education at the world’s most prestigious universities such as MIT or Carnegie Mellon.

His legacy lives on in the education of some of the world’s most distinguished academics, entrepreneurs, executives, and authorities in the technology world through the creation of mechanisms and institutions that endure over time.

Our FOUNDATION takes its name as a tribute to his career.
