Why Argentina?

Argentina boasts significant, well-established, and sustained development in the software and IT services industry. The sector is rising to the challenge of meeting the growing demand for products and services characteristic of the Industry 4.0 era and the knowledge economy, offering highly competitive solutions in the global market.

The Argentine IT industry is one of the economic sectors that has demonstrated the greatest level of global expansion in the most demanding markets over the past 30 years. For this reason, it is regarded by successive governments as a sector of strategic importance for the country's economic development.

The Ministry of Education is promoting the creation of technical degree programs in IT at more than a hundred universities and educational centers across the country, and is devising scholarship plans for university and higher-education students pursuing IT-related degrees.

Legislation

Following the approval of the Law 25.856 Declaring Software Production an Industry and the Law 25.922 on the Promotion of the Software Industry which have provided the sector with a stable regulatory framework and generated tax advantages, the IT industry has positioned itself as the country's most dynamic sector.

A new project by Knowledge Economy Law is moving forward. Once enacted, it will directly impact R&D investment, as well as the creation of highly skilled jobs, foreign currency inflows, and the reduction of the tax burden on companies in the sector. This will foster better conditions for the development of technological innovations by establishing a secure regulatory framework for the IT industry.
