Following an event in Washington with various companies in the sector, another meeting was held in Atlanta to strengthen strategic alliances and boost investment.
Strengthening Innovation Ties in Atlanta
Following a knowledge-economy event in Washington with U.S. technology companies, a new meeting took place at the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) headquarters in Atlanta. In this context, the goal was clear: reinforce strategic alliances with local innovation ecosystems and expand collaboration opportunities linked to Argentina–US tech partnerships.
During the event, “The South Meets the South: Connecting the Technology Ecosystems of Georgia and Argentina,” Argentina’s Ambassador to the United States, Alec Oxenford, held a public conversation with Larry Williams, President and CEO of TAG.
Moreover, the dialogue focused on areas of synergy between Georgia’s innovation ecosystem and Argentina’s dynamic tech landscape. According to the Embassy, the conversation highlighted the strong potential for bilateral cooperation driven by the growing relevance of Argentina–US tech partnerships.
Argentina’s Competitive Advantages for Technology Investment
Ambassador Oxenford presented Argentina’s recent macroeconomic stabilization efforts, its competitive strengths, and its capacity to build strategic alliances with the United States in key high-growth sectors such as:
- Artificial intelligence (AI)
- Fintech
- HealthTech
- Logistics and supply-chain technologies
- Knowledge-based services
He emphasized Argentina’s consolidation as a global leader in software and technology, noting that the country’s economic transformation under President Javier Milei is creating a more predictable environment for tech investment.
In this framework, Oxenford referenced OpenAI’s Stargate project, a global initiative valued at around USD 25 billion. He explained that Argentina aims to position itself competitively to attract large-scale infrastructure investments related to AI and advanced computing—an important component of future Argentina–US tech partnerships.
Growing Bilateral Engagement and Record Exports
The event included participation from senior diplomatic officials, including Deputy Chief of Mission Juan Cortelletti, Consul General in Atlanta Alana Lomónaco, Deputy Consul Sebastián D’Alessio, and other members of Argentina’s representation, as well as Foreign Ministry official Marina Ripari.
Just days earlier, the Embassy hosted a major AI-focused event in Washington to promote Argentina as an artificial intelligence hub. OpenAI, investment funds, technology firms, and U.S. government officials took part—further strengthening Argentina–US tech partnerships.
Meanwhile, Argentina’s knowledge-based services exports are reaching record levels. In the software sector alone, the country exported USD 1.3 billion in the first half of 2025, a 15% year-over-year increase. Projections indicate total exports may exceed USD 2.5 billion by year-end. The United States remains the top destination, accounting for roughly 60% of demand.
Buenos Aires continues to consolidate its role as a regional hub for global services and AI, hosting operational centers for companies such as Chevron, Amazon, Globant, EY, and Accenture.
Expanding Business Opportunities in Georgia
The Argentine delegation in Atlanta included 13 technology companies seeking to promote their solutions, strengthen cooperation, and explore new commercial links.
The core objective of the mission was to expand bilateral trade opportunities in the technology sector, attract new investment to Argentina, and facilitate the integration of Argentine companies into Georgia’s innovation and business ecosystem—further advancing Argentina–US tech partnerships.
