Mr. Ricardo VALLES

SaveFruit - Mexico

Born in Venezuela, he has lived in Mexico for the past ten years. He holds a degree in Biotechnology Engineering from Tecnológico de Monterrey, where he actively contributed to scientific research during his academic journey. His work earned him the opportunity to present findings at international conferences, including the prestigious iGEM synthetic biology congress in Boston, MA. Driven by the question of how to feed more people, he initially believed the answer lay in producing more food. However, he later realized that the true solution was to preserve the food already being produced. This realization led to the founding of SaveFruit Corp, a company dedicated to reducing fruit waste, enhancing opportunities for producers, and pioneering the creation of global food abundance. As CEO and Head of R&D, he has been at the forefront of developing innovative solutions that align with the company’s mission.
