Qualcomm started as an idea. An agreement. A pact. In 1985, seven individuals met in a den in San Diego for the purpose of creating “quality communications.” Today that den spans across more than 170 offices in more than 40 countries. The idea, however, remains the same.
Mission: Future Outlook - From the lofty heights of dreams, we can see the future.
Vision: Each day, your vision of what tomorrow might hold inspires us. Each day, we work to bring that vision to life as we lay the foundation for a new world of wireless communication. So while no one can be absolutely certain what tomorrow will bring, we have a pretty good idea. After all, with your help, we’re building it.
