Our passion for technology is the spark that lights our fire. Since our foundation we have sought to do what no one else has done and to go where no one else has gone, by enabling companies to become truly cutting edge.
The very essence of Grupo Aire is rooted in technology. We strive to create and implement systems, software and solutions that will eventually become an integral part of the everyday routines of millions of people, making their daily lives easier, by helping them to stay connected and, at the same time, protected.
Nosotros creemos en la soberanía europea del dato, por lo que hemos asumido una de las vocalías de Gaia-X, iniciativa europea que se posiciona como la cuna de un ecosistema digital federado y transparente, donde los datos y servicios pueden estar disponibles, recopilados y compartidos en un entorno de confianza y desde ahí seguiremos impulsando el cambio.
Hemos tenido la inmensa suerte de reunir un equipo humano que respira estas mismas motivaciones y valores, que comparte nuestra cultura tecnológica y que trabaja día a día haciendo posible este gran proyecto. Por ello, entre nuestros propósitos está el de contribuir a su desarrollo personal y profesional, ser una empresa igualitaria e inclusiva y mejorar la calidad de vida de todas las personas que participan en ella.
Creemos que tecnología y planeta están muy vinculados y por eso nos hemos propuesto ser parte de la solución. El proyecto Planeta Aire nace para convertirse en una de las iniciativas más importantes del Grupo Aire en materia de sostenibilidad y de manera transversal a todas las empresas que forman parte del grupo. Tratará de desarrollar el balance no económico del Grupo Aire. Se trata de crear un nuevo pilar sobre el que se asienten los valores de las empresas que forman parte del mismo, y que permitan contribuir de manera notable a alcanzar los ODS. Estamos trabajando día a día para que este proyecto sea lo más sostenible posible, para lo que revisamos periódicamente nuestro modelo de negocio y tratamos de incorporar todas las buenas prácticas que nos son posibles. Aún queda mucho trabajo por hacer y asumimos nuestro papel en esta misión que nos concierne a todos.
Desde el principio supimos que todos estos objetivos solo se podían conseguir creciendo, por lo que hace tiempo que decidimos seguir nuestro recorrido junto a inversores. Las cifras nos han acompañado año tras año, experimentando un gran crecimiento que planeamos seguir manteniendo. Por ello, nuestro compromiso es también ofrecer los mejores resultados económicos posibles, pero no solo para nuestros inversores, sino también para continuar en esa vanguardia tecnológica en la que queremos estar.
En este camino, juegan un papel importante nuestros socios comerciales, con quienes nos comprometemos a tener un trato justo y a buscar todas las sinergias que nos permitan crecer juntos.
Desde nuestra posición de liderazgo tecnológico y con la unión de las distintas fuerzas que conforman Grupo Aire, seguiremos trabajando para ser fuerza del cambio. Y nuestra misión, visión y valores es nuestra hoja de ruta para conseguirlo.

Adviser
Curiosity and passion for technology are the driving force behind a professional career that began at no less than the age of 4, fixing a broken cable of an iron that had stopped working. From that precocious impulse, Miguel Tecles’ biography is marked by multicolored wires, programming lines, radio waves, Internet signals when they hardly existed, numerous high voltage circuits and the occasional unexpected electric shock.
Today, holding the position of Chief Technology Officer at Aire Networks, Miguel Tecles is one of its fundamental pillars.
No one better than him personifies the company’s commitment to its customers: to always take technology to the next level, doing what no one else does, in a pioneering way and going where no one else goes, as well as providing services that generate value for all.
CEO
Passionate about technology and the inner workings of everything around him from an early age, Raúl began his first steps in the world of electronics and programming at the age of 14, when he made his first invoicing, accounting and warehouse management programme for the family business.
With this and the arrival of the Internet, he entered the world of telecommunications, studying Computer Engineering, where he met his first business partner, Miguel Tecles, through what was then one of the first social networks, IRC. After more than two years working together and improving their know-how, they met Emilio Gras, the third business partner in the current company, where they started their first ServiHosting project in 1996, thereby embarking on a journey that would take them to where they are today.
Raúl is a fundamental pillar in Grupo Aire, not only through his experience, but also through the values he brings and implements in the company, such as his future visions, accepting challenges and achieving goals.
